Saturday May 20, 2017 from 10 AM to 6 PM
The eighth Chester County Studio Tour will take place on Saturday May 20th from 10-6 PM, and Sunday May 21st from 11-5 PM.
The Chester County Studio Tour was created to promote regional artists and contribute to the cultural vitality of Chester County, by presenting original and diverse artwork in creative working studio settings. 179 artists in different mediums such as painting, sculpture, jewelry, photography, clay, glass, paper and fiber will showcase their work in 72 studios across Chester County. Many studios on the Tour will feature works-in-progress and artist demonstrations.
We invite art enthusiasts and the curious to experience a rare glimpse into the variety of outstanding art of Chester County as these professional artists exhibit their work during this unique and intimate two-day event. All the artists will be on hand to talk about their work and meet buyers and browsers alike. Whether this is your first time buying art or you are a seasoned collector, this tour has something for everyone, in a wide range of mediums and prices.
Visitors are encouraged to design their own self-guided tour with the catalogue and map, which can be downloaded from www.ChesterCountyStudioTour.com. You can start with the studio closest to you, or anywhere you like, by using the convenient map which has been graciously sponsored by FIG Industries, and our website. In addition, Tolsdorf Oil Lube Express has designed routes that will guide your travels across the county, allowing you to enjoy the view and selected studios.
We are continuing the well-known “County Collector Series.” Otto’s Mini & Otto’s BMW sponsors this opportunity to collect an original framed 6” x 6” piece of art for the special pricing of $75. Our two-dimensional artists have created an original work of art in a simple and elegant 6” x 6” frame, and our three-dimensional artists have also created special pieces for this Collector Series. A photo of each work in this series is included in our catalogue and may also be seen on the website.
The Chester County Studio Tour was created by Jeff Schaller, painter and tour organizer, and is in its eighth year as a successful and much anticipated event.
Free and open to the public. Please visit website www.chestercountystudiotour.com for map, artists and studio listings and for catalogue.

Unveiling of the first ever permanent art installation in Kennett Square in the alley off Genesis formally the space for the large kiosk. This large steel forged and welded sculpture is entitled "Kennett Squared" and is by Rob Sigafoos. Rob has been working with the committees of the borough council and Historic Kennett Square for almost a year to bring this sculpture to life in downtown Kennett.
