Applications are now available for the 2015 summer and winter Studio Tour on Bainbridge Island.

The tours are scheduled for Aug. 7 though Aug. 9, and Dec. 4 through

Dec. 6, and are hosted at various artists’ studios and community halls around the island.

This year marks the 15th consecutive year for the summer event, and the 32nd anniversary of the winter event.

As a juried venue of artwork, the Studio Tour is seeking professional work, designed and crafted by the artist, with original designs and quality craftsmanship.

Artwork should portray the “hand and spirit of the artist.”

Artwork that is mass-produced with the use of commercial kits or molds, pre-fabricated forms or imported items is not eligible.

The deadline for the summer event application is April 15. Applications for the Winter Tour are due by July 31.

Artists can apply for both events, and early registration is recommended. There is an “early bird” option with a deadline of March 15.

For artist application forms, which can be submitted entirely online, go to the “For Artists” page on the Studio Tour website at  www.bistudiotour.com.

Applications can also be found at the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce, or by contacting tour manager Dinah Satterwhite through 206-842-0504 or info@bistudiotour.com.
