Tour debuted. Cathy, along with other local artists, participated in bringing this idea to life as an annual event. The returning Elgin County Studio Tour operates from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm on September 27th and 28th: “I’m looking forward to once again meeting and connecting in-person with all the folks who follow my art, as well as being introduced to those who haven’t
encountered my work before.” The mandate of the Elgin County Studio Tour is to be a free, self-directed tour of participating artists’ studios, facilitating opportunities to engage with artists in their respective workspaces and to converse about the crea- tive process -- with an invita- tion to purchase pieces. Aim-
ing to amplify art in the community, this Tour is designed to foster a deeper appreciation for the cultural and economic impact of the arts in Elgin County.

Cathy continues, “Port Stanley has a wealth of riches when it comes to the sheer number of artists and creatives living in the village. Between the art guilds and local art displays in public spaces, artists of all levels — from beginners to professionals — can find a place to be included. I believe celebrating artworks by local artists helps
build a sense of identity and culture by reflecting the shared experience and values of our community. When you support and purchase local art, you’re actively taking part in that shared vision and helping it flourish.” Last year, created by artists and curators Elizabeth Kusinski and Laura Woermke, the phenomenal Elgin County Studio
