Here's how:
County Studio Tour creates a two-day event to showcase, highlight and share these artists with art connoisseurs, collectors, and curious neighbors. It is a unique experience to visit the studios of artists that you have admired over the years. The Studio Tour is a casual way to introduce yourself to the arts and become immersed in the creative talent scattered throughout the county.
ONE UNIQUE 6" x 6" ORIGINAL ART
Buying a piece of art from a local artist does so much, not just for the artist, but for the community. It nurtures and gives value to the creativity in that community. Dovetail Auctions and Pook & Pook share that belief with us.
Chester County Studio Tour has invited the artists to create only one County Collector for $90. Whether this is your first time buying original art or you are a seasoned collector, there is now something for everyone.
