18th Annual Studio Tour

September 18 to 27 Sorry, only Virtual for 2020

Fall is a wonderful time of year in Lewis County, so come out and enjoy it! This September, 37 artists offer the perfect opportunity for such an excursion—the 18th Annual ARTrails Studio Tour. Take a drive through the region’s historic communities and wander the back roads of Lewis County. Along the way drop in to watch artists at work and help us celebrate ARTrails’ 18th year. The Studio Tour is free and self-guided. You will have the opportunity to support local arts and artists by purchasing original artwork at each studio as well as at the Exhibition Gallery. As you take the tour, we hope you enjoy the other pleasures of Southwest Washington. Have lunch at one of our many fine eateries, visit local shops and galleries, take a stroll in one of our parks or recreational areas, and explore our museums and historical sights. Check our website for local tourism and lodging information and plan on spending the weekend. This Studio Guide contains artist information and a map to the studios.
