The 12th Annual Brown County Studio and Garden Tour is a great opportunity for visitors to capture the area’s creative spirit and its sense of community. The studios are situated along winding roads, on towering hilltops, and in lush hollows. At each stop demonstrations will provide a glimpse into the lives of the artists. Many of the studios’ grounds also boast attractive gardens.

Map brochures pinpointing each studio’s location are available at many area businesses and the Visitors Center in Nashville. They can also be accessed through the group’s website <www.browncountystudiotour.com>.

Some studios are hosting guest artists as well as displaying their proprietors’ creations.

Visitors will find a passport entry form on their brochure this year. By having it stamped at each studio on the tour, guests will be entered into a drawing for artwork pieces provided by tour members.

Some studios will have unique promotions for collecting contributions to an arts scholarship fund managed through the Brown County Community Foundation. Scholarship recipients are high school seniors embarking on arts-oriented higher education.

On Friday and Saturday, the tour runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Sunday, the hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
