Brown County, Indiana is home to a vibrant community of artisans and this year they're rolling out the red carpet for the centennial of the founding of the art colony by impressionist painter T.C. Steele, a century ago. Join us for this once in a lifetime event - 100 years of Arts and Artists.
The Brown County Studio and Garden Tour is a free, self-guided event designed to showcase the arts and crafts of this present-day "Art Colony of the Midwest."™
Twenty-one juried artisans, who continue this cultural heritage, will open their studios and gardens June 22-24, for a glimpse into the lives of working artists and craftsmen.
Demonstrations and activities will delight young and old, making this an art celebration for the entire family. The tour is educational and will broaden public understanding of the arts. You'll be able to see artwork take shape before your eyes and talk with the artist. At some studios, you'll even be able to take part in the creation.
This is a unique opportunity to meet artists doing what they love and to purchase art from its source. Collectors will enjoy the new work available especially for this occasion.
Studios help with funding the "Brown County Art Scholarship," established by the tour organization in 2005. Each year, local students will receive scholarships to further their art education.
The detailed map will help you find your way through the rolling hills. Watch for the signs and flags which mark the route and the destination studios.
Mark your calendars for next year's tour, the 10th anniversary event:
June 27, 28, and 29, 2008
