COME JOIN US!

Wander in Carver County on aself-guided tour of 15 studios, see the unique work of over 30 artists and watch them demonstrate their creativity!Enjoy the amazing Fall colors of the countryside while you visit our artists featuring their work in an eclectic mix of media: painting, pottery, jewelry, weaving, glasswork, woodworking, sculpture, mosaic, illustration, blacksmithing and metalworking.

In addition, many studios will have a local Arts Honor Society high school student present during the event. These students will be mentored by the host artist and will be displaying and possibly selling their work.

Dakota Tribes, and later early European immigrants, referred to the dense forest east of the vast plains as the “big woods”, which is now western Carver County. Although the area is no longer densely forested, it does provide a beautiful backdrop to the exhibitions, demon-strations and sales of extraordinary art created by local artisans.

Mark your calendars for three full days of fun and inspiration!
