The 2026 Tour featured 74 juried artists in 53 private studios, along with additional artists at three Art Centers. It’ was 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, shared 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. there was also the chance to purchase artwork directly from the artists and take home something truly special. The month-long Beyond the Studio: The Tour Artist Preview Exhibit provided an easy way to view artwork from all the Tour artists together in one place. |

Most Tour artists also donated a piece of artwork to the Tour-wide 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 just a few weeks, we will announce the names of this year's children's art program recipients and the amount we are able to donate to each. |
