OUR MISSION

The South Sound Studio Tour supports local artists and makers by showcasing a variety of studio spaces throughout Olympia, Tumwater, and Lacey while educating and inspiring our community by building relationships between artists and the broader public. 

ABOUT

The tour gives our community behind-the-scenes access to artist spaces with opportunities to watch demonstrations by skilled creatives and purchase directly from the artists and makers. The South Sound Studio Tour connects local artists with the greater community and provides opportunities to establish and strengthen relationships. By visiting artists’ studios, participants see where art is made, get to know artists, and can support them directly.

The South Sound Studio Tour includes Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and surrounding areas. The Tour offers an insight into how artists create, and craft in their studios. It also offers a chance to buy art from the artist. The tour incorporates classes and hands-on learning for patrons as well.

We gratefully acknowledge the Nisqually and the Coast Salish peoples on whose ancestral homeland we gather, as well as the diverse and vibrant Native communities who make their home here today.
