Applications are now available for the 2016 Bainbridge Island Summer and Winter Studio Tours.

The tours are scheduled for Aug. 12-14 and Dec. 2-4, respectively, and take place at various artist studios and community halls around the island. This year marks the 16th year for the summer event and the 33rd anniversary for 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 are not eligible.

The deadline for the Summer Tour application is April 15 and for the Winter Tour the application is due by July 31.

Artists can apply for both events at this time and early registration is recommended. There is an early bird option, which is due March 15. Artists do not have to live on the island or own a studio to be eligible for inclusion.

For artist application forms, which can be submitted entirely online, go to the “For Artists” page on the Studio Tour website: www.bistudiotour.com. Applications can also be found at the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce, or by contacting tour manager Dinah Satterwhite at 206-842-0504 or info@bistudiotour.com.
