The show will offer a sampling of the work from 22 local artists who will open their studios to the public. A number of these artists will be hosting 16 other artists who live in hard-to-reach areas of the county, forming small cluster groups and enriching the tour experience. Visitors are encouraged to stop in the Haywood County Arts Council gallery, pick up a Haywood Art Studio Tour map and begin planning their routes to see the wonderful art Haywood County has to offer.

The 2015 Studio Tour has been organized by a dedicated group of Haywood County artists. Participants work in diverse media including clay, fiber, wood, jewelry, glass, mixed-media, sculpture, and two-dimensional applications. The Arts Council’s Haywood Art Studio Tour Show complements the full tour, offering visitors a generous taste of what they’ll experience in late October and helping them choose which studios they would like to visit.
