Enumclaw’s 2011 Area Artist’s Studio Tour

Dear Enumclaw Artists:

The City of Enumclaw currently seeks area artists willing to open their studios to visitors from 10 am to 5 pm, May 7 – 8, 2011.  Please join us as a participant in Enumclaw’s first Area Artist’s Studio Tour. 

If you are interested in joining us on this adventure, please fill out and return the information requested on the corresponding application. Please call 360-802-0239 to confirm your interest as soon as possible. During the self-guided Studio Tour, artists are encouraged to show their most current artwork and to engage in conversations with visitors about their process, where they get their ideas, art interest, history of being an artist, and related topics.

Artists can serve snacks and non-alcoholic beverages if they choose. Artists without studios are welcome to call Arts Alive! Gallery for demo space during the event.

During the Artist Studio Tour, Arts Alive! Gallery will also be open to the public for viewing and sale. Area artists will be on site to answer questions and provide educational information to gallery visitors throughout the weekend event. Communication from the Enumclaw Studio Tour staff will be provided via e-mail.

Once you have completed the application process, you will receive additional information regarding a map and advertising specifics.
