Due to the shifting nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, events and opening hours of many organizations may change from time to time.  Should you plan a visit or wish to attend an event with an arts organization listed on Art-BC.com, we recommend that you visit their website for up-to-date details on their offerings and safety protocols.

Catch artists in their own space and see the inner workings of the studio tours life. Watch as a potter or ceramicist works clay with an expert touch. See a painter use colour, form and composition to splash an image on blank canvas. Experience the process of glassmaking,  woodworking, metal sculpting, and an endless variety of artistic expression.
British Columbia’s diverse culture and pristine natural beauty create the perfect conditions for a vibrant arts community. Artists all over the province open the doors of their studios to the public for specialized viewing tours that can be found on Art-BC.com.  Studio  tours are  an excellent way to immerse yourself in the local art  scene. Some artists open their studios throughout the year, or for the summer season, while others will only be available for viewing  during organized studio tours.

To begin, find an existing studio tour with a proposed itinerary or create your own cultural crawl – plan a visit to one of BC’s Creative Communities using the Guide and Art-BC.com to curate your own exploration of galleries, artist studios and more!
