How it Works
Working artists in the Gainesville area open up their studios to the general public every year for a weekend in July.
On this self-guided tour, you have the unique opportunity to witness art in the making through impromptu demonstrations and examples of the artistic process in various stages.
You'll be able to ask each artist questions about their process, see that process in action, and purchase a wide range of original works of art directly from each artist.
Kickoff Party

This year, to kick off the tour we are hosting a party on Friday, July 14 from 6pm - 9pm at GFAA Gallery 1314 S Main St Gainesville, FL 32601

The kickoff party is open to the general public. You can expect participating studio tour artists to be there, giving you an opportunity to meet the artists before the weekend tour.
