Studio Discovery Tour Preview Exhibit September 5 - 30, 2009 Dolphin Gallery

You can begin your North Coast Artists' Guild Studio Tour adventure by stopping at the Dolphin Gallery to preview the work of all Tour artists and to pick up extra catalogs with maps starting September 5, with the exhibit up through September 30.

The Dolphin Gallery exhibit will be a preview of most of the participating Tour artists. This gives you an opportunity to see an overview of the art so that you can check out artists you are particularly interested in. This is very helpful if your time is limited.

If you are taking the weekend, you are lucky because the Studio Discovery Tour will draw exceptional artists who will open their creative studios to the public. Colorful and intriguing artists from potters and glass blowers, weavers and paper workers to painters, sculptors, wood turners and photographers participate. Every year, new artists join the tour, keeping the experience fresh and full of surprises. In 2008, over 40 artists were on the tour.
