Go on a wonderland world of art tour
Artists all over Prescott-Russell are throw- ing open the doors to their studios and welcoming visitors inside to watch as works of beauty are created on canvas, in wood and stone, with tile and other me- dia. The 2014 edition of ARTour invites resi- dents and visitors to the region to enjoy a weekend exploring worlds of wonder with imaginative guides. This year’s ARTour has 21 featured artists from Clarence-Rockland, Alfred-Plantage- net, Casselman, Hawkesbury, Champlain Township, and The Nation to meet and greet with visitors on Sept. 27 and 28, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Artists will show o# some of their works- in-progress, and answer questions about art in general and their own excursions in the realms of creation. ARTour is a self-guided event, with bro- chures providing maps to the di#erent participating artists available at various sponsoring businesses and tourist kiosks throughout Prescott-Russell or available online at www.artour.ca. Tour participants may purchase a $5 AR- Tour passport at their "rst stop. The pass- port allows entry to all studios and venues for this year’s ARTour and also proceeds from passport sales go to the Young Artists Fund which provides $500 scholarships each year to Prescott-Russell students pur- suing post-secondary studies in the visual or graphic arts.
