3rd Annual Artists Studio Tour Event - Eureka Springs Arkansas

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Eureka Springs Artist Studio Tour?

The Eureka Springs Artist Studio Tour began in 2006 as part of the fall Arts Eye View events. Along with celebrating the dedication of the restoration of the Centennial Mural and the unveiling of the latest artist murals for the downtown public art exhibit, The Artery, visitors to Eureka Springs last fall were able to visit the working studios of a small number of artists in the area. It was decided to make this an annual event to be held each fall two weeks after the Off the Beaten Path Studio Tour in Mountain View, AR. This third year of the studio tour in Eureka Springs brings you the rare opportunity to visit more than 15 artists in their working studios.

How does the tour work?

This is a self directed artists studio tour. Maps and a brief description of each artist studio are distributed in a printed publication which can be picked up here in town before the event and during the 3 day tour. Signs along the route direct you to the actual studios. Each studio has one or more participating artist. The public is invited to step into the adventure of art – right into the workplaces to see the tools and techniques of creating art. You will be able to get to know the individual artists and catch a glimpse into the creative process. Artists will be offering demonstrations, answer questions, have “works in progress” on display and works for sale.

When is the tour?

The tour is held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the last weekend of September (26-28) from 10 am - 6 pm on Friday and Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday.

Who is invited?

Studios are open to the general public, young and old - Art lovers, art collectors, students of art, adventurers of all sorts. We ask that you please leave your pets at home.
