Gig Harbor Open Studio Tour

Melisa will be opening up her studio for the Gig Harbor Open Studio Tour.

Each year you can enjoy the latest works from professional artists in their working studios showcasing their talent from Gig Harbor, Key Peninsula, Fox Island, Olalla and Port Orchard where artists welcome visitors into their studios.

THIS IS A UNIQUE ONCE-A-YEAR OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE ART AND

MEET ARTISTS IN THEIR WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Open Studio Tour continues the tradition established in 1993 of juried, select Gig Harbor area artists opening their working studios to the public. The artists are dedicated to providing the rare opportunity of seeing the artists in their studio environment and offering explanations and demonstrations of their materials and art process. This gives people an opportunity to meet local artists in their studios, to learn what inspires them and how they use their materials and tools to create objects of beauty, whimsy and utility.
