Ever wondered how artists craft their masterpieces? Take a peek behind the curtain at the Fort Collins Artist Studio Tour and Sale, a self-guided tour of more than 70 local artist spaces revealing the mysteries of the creative process.
From 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, and noon-5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, local artists will open their doors to the Fort Collins community, allowing visitors to meet makers, view educational demonstrations and buy original artworks. Participating artists’ mediums span crafts from pottery, sculpture and fiber arts to photography, painting, jewelry and more.
Before the tour, the Center for Creativity will also be hosting a preview exhibit from Oct. 14-25 featuring participating artists with a free opening reception celebrating local art at 6 p.m. Oct. 16. The exhibition is free and open to the public from noon-6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Artwork from a selection of participating artists is also on view at Fort Collins City Hall through Nov. 13.
