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.

Unofficial Preview Party: Friday 4-7 PM;

Official Tour Hours: Saturday, 10-6 PM & Sunday, 11-5 PM.

ABOVE: “Pretty Peacock”, 6 x 6 inches, ink and acrylic on hardbord. $90*

* This is the 2024 "County Collector" for the Chester County Studio Tour: on May 18-19, 2024. This artwork is available exclusively for $90 as a part of the tour.

For my patrons: It is advised to arrive early to the tour if you wish to catch the county collector. Most years, mine is sold out early on. More on the County Collector program below.

Every year, participating artists are asked to create one unique 6- x 6-inch piece of original art and sell it for $90. County Studio Tour wants to make art affordable for everyone and wants to show that art can be everywhere. Whether this is your first time buying original art or you are a seasoned collector, the tour has something for everyone. In some instances, a favorite artist might be out of someone's price range, but with the County Collectors Club, art is within reach. Some art enthusiasts are out of wall space yet enjoy the thrill of adding new art to their collection. This becomes possible with the County Collectors Club since the pieces are considered small.

All the pieces are uniform in size and framed with a simple, elegant black frame. To assure quality and uniqueness, all pieces will have a specially-marked certificate printed on the back commemorating the year's studio tour. County Studio Tour asks the artist to create only one commemorative piece of art, so plan your day and get out early to ensure you have art on your walls by Monday!
