The most enjoyable thing about living in Colorado is not just the over 300 days of sunshine, it’s all the Artistic Events and Art Tours to be seen and this weekend is no exception.

This weekend is the 12th Annual Arvada Art Studio Tour that will be held Saturday, September 21st and Sunday, September 22nd, Noon to 5pm each day. It is one of my favorite artist events as the Arvada Artists open their Studio to the public. “The studios on this tour run the full range – everything from back bedrooms to large dedicated buildings.”

It is a delightful journey of artistic expression and an opportunity to meet the artists, have a one-on-one conversation directly with the artists, be a tourist in your own state, start thinking about gifts for the holiday and be a collector.

“The tour is also a great time to shop for art works for your home or gifts for the holidays.” The artwork offered is in a wide range of prices, so there is no time like the present to become a collector. I look forward to running into you somewhere out along the tour route.
