The tour provides an opportunity to chat with artists, discover what inspires them, and create a connection to the artist and their work.
The public will see works in progress and demonstrations and can purchase a work of art to cherish for years to come. The tour is free, and everyone is welcome.
New this year will be the Artist Preview Reception at Union Street Market inside Electric Works from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19.
The reception will give the public an opportunity to meet the artists and see a preview of the work that will be featured on the tour. Light bites will be served along with a cash bar.
