Now in its 19th year, the Tour is a joyful celebration of art and artists throughout the Prescott Quad-City area. This free three-day event welcomes you into private studios to meet artists, see them at work, learn about their creative process, and discover one-of-a-kind pieces for yourself or for gifting.
This year’s Tour features 74 juried artists in 53 private studios, along with additional artists at three Art Centers. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet talented local artists, step inside their creative spaces, and experience a wide variety of artistic styles and media.
​
Many artists, in both private studios and Art Centers, share live demonstrations of their craft, offering a closer look at how their work comes to life, the materials they use, and the care behind each piece. You’ll also have the chance to purchase artwork directly from the artists and take home something truly special.
 
We also invite you to enjoy the month-long Beyond the Studio: The Tour Artist Preview Exhibit at the ‘Tis Art Center and Gallery, running from August 23 through September 22. It’s an easy way to view artwork from all of the Tour artists together in one place.
Most Tour artists also donate a piece of artwork to the raffle. Proceeds from ticket sales support children’s art programs throughout the Quad-City area and help make next year’s Tour possible. Winning tickets are drawn on the Tour’s final day.
​
​In 2025, Tour goers bought more raffle tickets than in any year in our 18-year history. Because of their generosity, we were able to donate $1,000 to each of the following:
  • The Launch Pad Art Club
  • The Mountain Artists Guild Youth Art Programs
  • The Phippen Museum Youth Outreach Program
  • The ‘Tis STEPS Art Program for Children​​

​We look forward to seeing you on the Tour!
