Jump in the car and take a drive through the countryside starting this month to step into the world of over 25 different artists.

The Back Roads of Brown County Studio Tour will happen the entire month of October. It will feature 27 artists in 19 different studios showing off their unique set of talents.

A variety of artists from woodworkers to painters to stone carvers to photographers will be on this year’s tour, reopening their studios after more than a year since last year’s tour was canceled due to COVID-19. Many studios will require face coverings and social distancing this year.

Visitors are invited to go on free self-guided tours.

The studio tour began in 1998. This year’s tour includes a mixture of studios which have been on the tour for many years, along with some new venues. Some artists will be doing demonstrations, and works will be available for purchase at all 19 locations.

T.C. Steele State Historic Site is one of the stops and will offer a discounted admission for those visiting on the tour. All other studios will be open free of charge.

Days and operations of each study vary, but listings for each studio and a map can be found in a brochure available throughout Brown County and at browncountystudiotour.com.
