GREATER ITHACA ART TRAIL OPEN STUDIO WEEKENDS!


ArtTrail.com


October 12, 13 & October 19, 20

11am - 5pm


Over 30 studios open throughout Tompkins County!


There’s no fee, and no appointments needed. Just a wonderful traveling adventure with great art and great conversations!


You’ll find painters, photographers, sculptors, printmakers, fiber artists, potters, makers of fine furniture, illustrators, mixed media artists, jewelers, digital artists, and more, showcasing an AMAZING array of creative talent.


I love this quote from a 2023 visitor: “I was blown away by the quality of the art that I saw and the really cool art studios. And I didn’t expect all the wonderful conversations I had with the artists. The Art Trail is such a unique and special event. And when you combine visiting such great artists with the beauty of the area, this is definitely going to be an annual event for me and I’ll be sure to bring heaps of friends each year!”


Visit ArtTrail.com. A list of who is open each of the two October weekends (and a downloadable list) is on our Artist & Who Is Open page.


New this year (woo hoo!): Google Maps showing the location of each studio.


Registration Requested includes an **AWESOME Raffle** with 20 chances to win.
