The South Sound Studio Tour showcases studio spaces where artists work throughout Olympia, Tumwater, and Lacey Washington.

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.
