VISITORS
The Studio Tours showcase the wealth of talent and creativity that makes Saranac Lake an arts destination in the Adirondacks. This is a unique opportunity for visitors to learn about each artist’s process, inspiration, and materials, see works in all stages of progress, and watch artists demonstrate their techniques in a wide variety of styles, subjects, and media including painting, pastel, ceramics, printmaking, woodcarving, fused glass, photography, fiber art and more.
- Studio Tours are self-guided and free to the public. Create your own tour by choosing the artists you want to see and look at the map to find their location.
- Studio Tour hours are 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Some galleries may have different hours, so please call or check individual gallery websites for business hours.
- Each month, different artists will be participating on different days, so please be sure to check the schedule for each artist you want to visit when planning your tours.
- Look for ArtWorks Studio Tour banners and directional signs to guide you to participating locations.
- Many studios and galleries in downtown Saranac Lake are within walking distance or a short drive of each other. To visit artists throughout the surrounding region, check the map and each artist’s participating dates to plan your own driving tour.
- You can print this page and/or the Artist List and Map. Create your own route by circling the Studios you wish to visit on your map. Or, use your smart phone and click on the Links.
- If a certain studio is not participating on a day you take the Tour, you may also contact the artist directly. Most welcome visitors by appointment.
- The Studio Tours have been going on since 2008. Come and shop for unique, one-of-a-kind works of art.
