MORE INFORMATION
The Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strives to educate the public about how and why artists create their work. Supported in part by the city of Prescott and the Prescott Area Arts & Humanities Council, the tour also fosters an appreciation of the arts and promotes art education.
Special to Independent Newsmedia
The Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour allows attendees to observe artists as they actively demonstrate their craft.
This experience allows guests to learn about materials, techniques and processes used in creating a work of art, while forging a personal connection with the artists. More than 60 juried artists participating in the tour will appear across 45 private studios, with over 35 additional artists appearing at five art centers when the event runs from Oct. 6-8 in and around Prescott, about 90 miles north of Phoenix.
These Art Centers – the Mountain Artists Guild, Suze’s Prescott Center for the Arts, ’Tis Annex Art Education Building, Prescott Valley Arts & Culture and Yavapai College Visual Arts – are organizations that encourage arts practice and provide the facilities for ongoing art education.
The Tour’s diverse selection of artists will include:
Douglas Brown, Sculpture. Raised amid the prairie potholes of eastern South Dakota, Brown studied wildlife around him. He will appear at Tour Studio #22: DH Brown Studio, 878 W. Gina Marie Blvd., in Paulden.
Jim Clark, Woodworking. Clark hand-carves wooden bowls from mostly native woods, such as oak, juniper, walnut, aspen, cottonwood and mesquite. He also makes rustic but elegant furniture ranging in design from rustic to modern. Find him at Tour Studio #44: Jim's Rustic Art, 957 E. Center St., in Chino Valley.
Diane Gale, Ceramics. Gale wants her art to create joy for the people who see her pieces. She hopes people pick them up to explore the shape, design, texture and colors. Gale will appear at Tour Studio #12: ClayFires Art, 697 6th St., Suite 108, in Prescott.
Joy Goff, Watercolor Painting. Goff creates watercolor paintings that include ink-drawn elements. She is inspired by the landscape of the Southwest, and although it influences her abstract paintings, the correlation between the two is not direct. Visit her at Tour Studio #28: Skjei Designs, 1814 Oaklawn Drive, in Prescott.
Diane Iverson, Drawing with Colored Pencils. Iverson’s work focuses primarily on the wildlife of the Western United States in its natural habitat. She has a strong focus on birds, but enjoys drawing anything from bison to butterflies, with the occasional journey into a celebration of wildflowers. She will appear at her studio, #18 on the Tour: 2753 Brooks Range Road, in Prescott.
Kelly Jones, Glass. Through her work, Jones seeks to recreate the natural beauty on display all around every day. Her work combines fused glass and torch-work glass to make wall art, landscapes, lampshades, and jewelry. Visit Jones at Tour Studio #40: Wonderstruck Glass & Textiles, 2150 Meander, in Prescott.
Johanna Shipley, Jewelry. Shipley’s pieces include some combination of metal, stones, beads, wire, vitreous enamel, fused glass, resin, epoxy clay, found objects and alcohol inks. She will be found at Tour Studio #26: Glass Goons, 4455 N. Juniper Drive, in Chino Valley.
Most artists on the Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour will be raffling one of their works. Raffle tickets may be purchased at most tour locations, and may be used at any tour location. Proceeds from ticket sales will be used to fund next year’s tour, as well as art programs for children in the Quad-City area.
The winning tickets will be drawn at each location after 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8.
