Art Drive opens Southcoast studios this weekend

Posted

Nestled in the scenic and winding roads of Dartmouth and Westport, Mass., are the studios of some of the region’s finest artists. From 10 a.m. to 5 p..m from Friday to Sunday, Aug. 2 to 4, Art Drive artists will open their creative spaces to the community.

This annual tour showcases professional works created by some of the area’s premier painters, ceramic artists, photographers, jewelers, fiber artists, and woodworkers. Artist members offer new work that results from a year’s worth of creative explorations.

It is a weekend for conversation, questions, and an opportunity to see the tools and inspirations that drive an artist’s process. Every studio is unique. Several artists will be offering demonstrations throughout the weekend. 

Art lovers and collectors alike will enjoy a great day trip or weekend escape while touring the historic and picturesque South Coast. With only 15 miles between the Art Drive studios, you will have plenty of time for picnic lunches, ice cream, or meals in one of the area’s restaurants.

Visit www.the-art-drive.com for a list of this year’s participating artists.
