The San Juan Island Artists’ Studio Tour is a free self-guided tour with 20 artists’ studios and 30 guest artists. We are a group of mutually supportive artists who have joined together to create a community event that celebrates the way we work in our personal studio spaces. Hundreds of people attend this free event every year.

In hidden drives and private workshops 20 artists on San Juan Island ask that you join them in celebrating the 21^st year anniversary of the San Juan Island Artists’ Studio tour. With a mixture of prints, paintings, ceramics, jewelry, photography, sculpture, and fiber, the professional artists open their doors and welcome the public to see where art is created and explain their processes. This is a chance to purchase art at the source, often before the art is shown in national art shows and galleries.

Visitors will gain a greater knowledge and clearer understanding of both the artist and their media. 30 guest artists exhibit their work.  The tour is a free event of art, guest musicians, lovely gardens, and a drawing for art at each studio.

Maps and brochures are available at www.sanjuanislandartists.com and at many businesses in Friday Harbor.  Follow this link to see the unique benefits of the Artist’s Studio Tour on beautiful San Juan Island in Washington State.
