What is Artouring?

THE ART ADVENTURE

              Tour Artists' Working Studios

Have you ever wondered, when viewing a painting or a sculpture or a piece of jewelry, of how that piece was created? Or what inspired the artist to produce it, and what kind of background, education, experience and talent it took to produce the piece?

Artouring offers a cultural “behind the scenes” look at the artistic community that makes its collective home in the Reno-Tahoe-Virginia City area.

Open Studio Tours invites you into the artist’s studios, creative spaces that are not normally open to the public, to meet and talk with them and to see their work. The categories might be bronze sculpture, weaving, photography, printmaking, painting, ceramics, jewelry, turned wood or gourd art.

Open Studio Tours afford the artists an opportunity to talk about their work and their backgrounds. And it gives you an opportunity to ask them questions about their creative process.

Artouring exists to bring the public and the artists of Northern Nevada together to engage, educate and inspire one another. The purpose of our Open Studio tour is to invite the community to take an intimate look inside the space where an artist's vision becomes a reality.

Original art can be purchased at studio prices.
