Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour

The Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour will return over the weekend of October 6-8, 2023, offering attendees an opportunity to visit with more than 60 juried artists in their private studios and more than 35 additional artists across five Art Centers, observe their creative processes and purchase one-of-a-kind works of art. The Tour, which will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, will showcase many different artistic mediums — ranging from painting and ceramics to jewelry and textiles — in locations throughout the Prescott/Quad-City area. Attendees of this free, self-guided event may begin at any location and visit as many studios as they like. For detailed information and maps, visit www.PrescottStudioTour.com. Each year, attendees of the Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour report that one of the most intriguing aspects is the opportunity to observe artists as they actively demonstrate their craft. This experience allows attendees to learn about the materials, techniques and processes used in creating a work of art, while forging a personal connection with the artists. More than 60 juried artists participating in the Tour will appear across 45 private studios, with over 35 additional artists appearing at five Art Centers. These Art Centers – the Mountain Artists Guild, Suze’s Prescott Center for the Arts, ‘Tis Annex Art Education Building, Prescott Valley Arts & Culture and Yavapai College Visual Arts – are organizations that encourage arts practice and provide the facilities for ongoing art education. The exhibiting artists must meet the requirements set by the Center. Most artists on the Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour will be raffling one of their works. Raffle tickets may be purchased at most Tour locations, and may be used at any Tour location. Proceeds from ticket sales will be used to fund next year’s Tour, as well as art programs for children in the Quad-City area. The winning tickets will be drawn at each location after 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 8.
