Tahoe Art League's 10th annual Artist Studio Tour

“The Tahoe Art League “Artist Studio Tour” is an extraordinary self-guided tour that occurs each year on the last weekend of July and the first weekend in August. There are numerous open studios to visit with either individual artists or artist collectives showing their work and studio spaces, offering a unique glimpse into what inspires each of these talented Lake Tahoe residents.

This year’s event features 42 artists, in 21 studios or studio collectives. By attending 10 of these studios and/or purchasing $100 of art work, the visitors will then qualify to enter into a drawing to receive a donated piece of artwork. Many of the artists live in Lake Tahoe full time, while others live here part time and come to Tahoe from other areas of the United States. Every year the Lake Tahoe Basin and the Sierra Mountains greet thousands of visitors, coming to see the beauty of this historical and magical place.

Some of the TAL artists create ”one of a kind” painted art pieces inspired by Tahoe’s special surroundings. Other artists offer creations as individual and varied as are the many media presented in this tour, including: glass, metal, silver, fiber art, mosaics, mixed media, sculpture, strung and woven jewelry, wearable art, carved and painted gourds, collage, pottery, and book arts.
