Over 25 years ago, in Puget Sound between Seattle
and Tacoma, Washington, artists on Vashon Island opened their
doors to the public for the first of many art studio tours. From
primarily a potters’ show, this rural venue has grown over the
years to include up to 100 Island artists. The tour spans
two weekends twice each year. The Holiday Art Studio Tour
is offered the first two weekends every December, the Spring Art
Studio Tour during the first two weekends each May.
Visitors may view artwork in the form of paintings, printmaking,
sculpture, ceramics, glass, jewelry, photography, garden art and
even more.
Many artists demonstrate their craft and all are ready to explain
their processes at locations ranging from artists’ studios to
Vashon’s historic buildings. A number of fine shops and
galleries also feature the work of Island artists and
craftspeople.

A peaceful, country getaway, Vashon Island lies only a short ferry
ride from either Fauntleroy (West Seattle), Point Defiance
|
| |
(Tacoma) or Southworth (Kitsap). Ferry schedules can be found at
www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries. Plan to stay the weekend at one of
Vashon’s many B&Bs, sample the cuisine at our fine restaurants
and expose yourself to ART! |
