This year, 2012, is the 27th year that we, the artists of Uxbridge and area, have opened our studios and galleries to show our work. Our tour is self guided and always on the 3rd weekend of September. This year we have over two dozen sites with almost sixty artists including the guests to create a visual feast for you all. The tour sites are located in and around the beautiful town of Uxbridge, along the surrounding country roads and in the hamlets of Claremont, Goodwood, Sandford, Victoria Corners, and Sunderland.
We are a rich and diverse community of artists, craftsmen and makers of all kinds and our work and studio environments are unique and varied. We embrace a broad spectrum of approaches in many media. We are goldsmiths, jewelers and blacksmiths, glass artists, ceramists, fibre artists and sculptors, painters, photographers, printmakers, and stone carvers, and often our work merges various media and explores innovative ways of working. Our work may come from a historical or contemporary perspective. It may be hand built or made using sophisticated technology. It may use brushstrokes, hammer marks, or chisel marks; oil paints, encaustic or recycled material. It may be about flights of fantasy, evocative memories or great ideas.
All of us are waiting to show you how we work, talk about why we work and exchange ideas with you about what it all means. Hearing what you think about our work is one of the great benefits of our tour; if you want to own our work – even better.
