The Third Annual Henderson County fall Open Studio Tour September 25 and 26 will give art appreciators and collectors the chance to visit 31 artists’ personal studios.

The free, self-guided tour will run from 10–5 p.m. on Saturday and noon–5 p.m. on Sunday. Five galleries of The Henderson County Gallery Guild are also participating. Visitors are able to see artists at work as well as purchase their art. Tour brochures with each artist and gallery listed and a map of how to find them are available at The Arts Council of Henderson County at acofhc.com.

A preview exhibition showcasing the participating artists’ works will be held September 3–24 in the Neill Gallery at The Arts Council, 538 North Main Street, in downtown Hendersonville. There will be a public reception with the participating artists at The Arts Council on Friday, September 24 from 5:30–8 p.m.

“The Tour is a wonderful opportunity to visit artists where they create, ask questions, and observe their individual creative processes,” says Jim Faucett, executive director of the Arts Council. “The exhibition in the Neill Gallery is the public’s chance to preview in one room the variety of art that can be enjoyed on the Tour.”
