The doors to more than forty Henderson County art studios will swing open to welcome guests in the annual Open Studio Tour from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 21-22.
This all-volunteer effort showcases the work of local artists in painting, sculpture, pottery, jewelry, fiber and metal arts, woodworking, and glass. All proceeds from art sold during the weekend are retained by the artists.
The Open Studio Tour of Henderson County raises public awareness of the practicing and accomplished artists in the community. In addition to enhancing the cultural image of Henderson County, the Tour boosts the local economy through the arts – more than 30% attendees, many who return year after year, visit from outside the county. Open Studio “tourists” get to experience not just art but the nooks and crannies of beautiful Henderson County as they travel from studio to studio.
The free self-guided tour takes place rain or shine. To help plan your tour, four-color guide booklets are available online and at the following locations:
The Center for Art & Inspiration
125 South Main Street, Hendersonville
The Gallery at Flat Rock
