Winter studio tour seeks artists

Applications are now available for the 2017 Bainbridge Island Winter Studio Tour, scheduled for Dec. 1 through Dec. 3.

The Studio Tour takes place at various artists’ studios and community halls around the island. This year marks the 34th anniversary for the winter event.

The deadline to apply is Monday, July 31.

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.

Artists do not have to live on the island, or own a studio.

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 via info@bistudiotour.com.
