10:00 AM 5th Annual Artists Studio Tour
Over the past four years, the Calaveras Artists Studio Tour has worked its way into the heart of our community and is now one of the county's biggest annual celebration of the visual arts. The 5th annual Artists Studio Tour coming up on September 25 and 26 brings artists and art lovers together in relaxed and friendly studio environments where the various elements of art are shared and enjoyed.



Over 30 artists will be on hand from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on both days for questions and discussion as they “show their process” and reveal how, why and where they create their artwork. Purchase original art or prints or unique gift items directly from the artist.



The tour is self-guiding through the purchase of a $10 per person “Passport.” Pocket or purse-size, use it as a road map and a collectible. Artists are represented with a color photograph of their work and studio address with directions. Select those you would like to visit, then locate the studio numbers on the map. Spread your trip over both Saturday and Sunday. Travel the backroads and enjoy the early fall landscapes. Simply pack up family and friends and discover that Calaveras County’s art is as delectable as its wine and goldrush towns.

To help sort through all the different styles and types of art available, Gallery Calaveras in San Andreas starting September 10 has a Preview Show of participating Studio Tour artists. Plan your personalized trip of which of 35 artists you’d like to visit. From the sun-washed Tuscany-style studio of Sarah Switek or the woodsy cozy studio of Ruth Morrow, or the eight artists clustered together in Glencoe, the Tour provides a once a year treat to the general public to enter the intimate setting of where artists create.

There’s art for all tastes, including photography to jewelry, pottery to painting, fine woodworking and iron work and garden gates, even rug hooking. Invite family and friends and have fun for two days winding your way through backroads to reach Arnold, Murphys, Angels Camp, Copperopolis, Valley Springs, Mokelumne Hill, Glencoe, and Mountain Ranch.

Artists on the tour this year include: James Aarons, Mary Anderson, Sharon Baker, Roxi Berlin, Frank Bianchi, Kevin Brady, Judie Cain, Kathleen Canning, Randy Carlins, Cate Culver, Melinda Englebrecht, Bonnie Gill, Carol Goff, Marchand Heimann, Susie Hoffman of Galerie Copper, Susan King, Debra Lawlor, Ann Nancy Macomber, Larry Mersek, Ruth Morrow, Cathi Newlin, Bambi Papais, Robin Price, Pamela Quyle and Quyle Kilns Studio, Marilyn Richards, Margaret Roberts, Emily Ryslinge, Edie Schembri, Claudio Schwalm, Sarah Switek, Joani Taylor, Andy Trinkle, Janet Trinkle, Martha Wallace, and Carrie Zaro. Some artists will be sharing their studios for the ones who are too remote. No matter where the artists are, the result is a satisfying experience that deepens our understanding of the importance of artists and art in our culture. Artists will be able to accept cash, check or credit cards for art purchases.

The map / brochures called Passports can be purchased during the tour at the studios or in advance starting September 1 at Gallery Calaveras at 22 Main St., San Andreas, or at several outlets that will be listed on www.calaverasarts.org. For more information, or to reserve Tour Passports, call (209)754-1774.
