Back Roads of Brown County Spring Tour May 9 – 18, 2014
For ten days in May, visitors from across the state and region will get a glimpse into the lives of working artists and craftsmen and the chance to meet them in their inspirational work spaces during the 16th annual Brown County Studio and Garden Tour.
The free, self-guided“ Backroads of Brown County Spring Tour” showcases the arts and crafts of 17 local artists and 13 working studios, modern day heirs to the tradition of the“ Art Colony of the Midwest.”
Collectors will enjoy new work made available especially for this occasion. Educational demonstrations and activities make it an event for the entire family.
Visitors will be able to see artwork as it takes shape and talk with the artists who create it. At some studios, visitors will even be able to take part in the creation.
The variety of media is impressive: stained glass, acrylic paintings, painted glass, watercolors, mixed media, folk-painted gourds, jewelry, hand forged metal art, traditional stoneware, sawdust-fired and raku pottery, crystalline glazed porcelain, glass art, garden art, recycled art, wearable art, photography, and handmade brooms.
The free spring tour will be held from May 9 through May 18, earlier and for a longer period than it has been in the past.
A detailed map and brochure are available online and at locations around Nashville, to guide visitors to the studios. Signs and flags will be posted along the way.
During the tour, visitors get a chance to personally connect with the artists and the environments that inspire them. They also take home the memory of the drive through the country to get there. Many return in following years to see how the studio and the artist changed.
About half the people who take the tour each year are from within about 50 miles of Brown County. The other half are from all over the state, and from Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, Ohio, or Illinois.
