The Third Annual Oldham Studio Tour provides the opportunity for visitors to add to their collection of regional art, to watch live demonstrations, talk with the artist, and just hang out enjoying refreshments at each map spot. You might even get the chance to try your hand at the craft.
Three years ago several artists came together to initiate the tour believing that this would be a new and exciting venue for getting their art to the public as well as offering an adventure for art patrons, as well as for families with children.
This year there are 21 artists and 14 map spots. Several artists have joined together to offer a variety of work at one spot, and keep the driving to a minimum for our visitors. Studios are open and free of charge to the public.
The Tour is self-directed using numbered map spots as your guide. Maps are available from Gallery 104 in LaGrange and all participating studios. You can also download a map from http://www.Westportgeneralstore.com. Studio tour signs will be posted at every studio as well as along the county roads.
Plan to spend the day as Westport General Store in Westport where several studios are located, will be open not only Saturday 11am –10pm but also Sunday from 11am-8pm. Chef Harold Baker will be serving some great specials. Trout Almandine with rice and Vegetables. Chicken cordon bleu served with mashed potatoes and fresh garden vegetables. And On Sunday a special fried chicken dinner.
