Welcome to the Skagit Valley Studio Tour, a free self-guided art studio tour. The tour was originally started by Skagit Artists Together over twenty years ago.  Now, as the Skagit Artists group is dissolving, we are picking up the NW Art Beat torch and adding to the long history of art created in Skagit Valley. We organizers are three artists and an art business co-owner with years of affiliation with the tour. Continuity is of utmost importance for events like this, so we decided to invite artists to participate in the renewed tour and keep the ball rolling.

Those opening their studios are artists looking to show their work in the places it was created. The direct contact between the artist and the studio visitors is invaluable to all. The artist gets to see their art through the eyes of another. The visitors get to better understand and appreciate what happens in the journey from inspiration to a finished work of art. Our community grows with these interactions. 

We hope you enjoy the tour.
