Acadiana Open Studio Tour

Following last year’s very successful Open Studio Tour, this year’s Tour will feature over one hundred artists and craftsmen at thirty-two studios or galleries throughout Acadiana, but with most of the artists concentrated in the Lafayette area. This makes the Tour by far the largest one since its inception in 1971. In addition to Lafayette, participating artists and craftsmen will be located in Sunset, New Iberia, Arnaudville, Scott, Duson, Youngsville,  Morse, Breaux Bridge, and Carencro. A good many of the galleries and studios will have several artists and craftsmen at their sites, and most will have works for sale.  Many will also be showing their works in progress, another popular feature of the Tour. Art available for viewing and sale will include everything from oil and acrylic paintings to jewelry, woodwork, pottery, sculpture, glass, metalwork, watercolors, whimsical drawings, blacksmith works, assorted flights of fancy, and a whole lot more.  Those making the tour will need their own transportation; this is definitely not a walking tour.

A special preview show, featuring one work by each of the participating artists, will be held at the Acadiana Center for the Arts November 6 at 6 pm. The exhibit will remain in place until after the December Art Walk.

Free. 10 am–5 pm each day. openstudioacadiana.com.
