ARTour 2012 is July 12-15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Talented local artists open their studios to the public each year in the North Tahoe-Truckee region for two weekends of celebrating the visual arts.

ARTour is a self-directed studio tour offering numerous opportunities to meet artists in their work environment, to learn about a variety of art mediums, and to buy directly from the artists.

A variety of art mediums are featured. This has included watercolor, pastels, oil painting, acrylics, glass, jewelry, pastels, mixed media, and photography.

Many of the artists are well established and nationally known with work in major galleries throughout the United States. Others are promising emerging artists. All are juried to participate in ARTour.
