Art Chowder May | June, Issue 21 | Page 68

New elements for this year’s tour: The Collector’s Edition: Each participating artist is creating a unique six-inch by six-inch piece of original art to sell for 75 dollars, with the goal of making art affordable for everyone. Whether this is your first time buying a piece of original art or you’re a seasoned collector, the tour has something for you. In some instances, a favorite artist’s work might be out of your price range, but with the Collector’s Edition, their art can be within reach. Since the Collector’s Edition pieces are considered small, art enthusiasts who are out of wall space can experience the thrill of adding new art to their collections. All pieces will have a specially-marked certificate printed on the back to assure quality and uniqueness, and commemorate the year’s studio tour. The artists are creating only one commemorative piece of art each, so plan your day and get out there early! 68 ART CHOWDER MAGAZINE
