Rarely does the public have the opportunity to see where the artists create their works or an opportunity to discuss the artist's inspiration, methods, materials and creative process. This First Annual (self-guided) Smiths Falls Art Journey Studio Tour features a variety of different studios, representing 12 artists Meet the artists, browse among new works and purchase art directly from the artists themselves.
