Southeast Minnesota Artists Present Annual Bluff Country Studio Art Tour

Friday, Saturday & Sunday, April 25-27
Self-Guided Tour

Don’t miss the once-a-year event that celebrates Southeast Minnesota’s talented artists and the unique works they create! Springtime in Minnesota can mean daffodils or snow, and sometimes both, but the last weekend in April has meant the Bluff Country Studio Art Tour for more than two decades. The scenic self-guided tour is an opportunity to enjoy spring in SE Minnesota’s Bluff Country and the hospitality of local artists in their studios.

The 24th annual Bluff Country Studio Art Tour welcomes visitors Friday, Saturday & Sunday, April 25-27. This year’s event features thirty-three artists presenting their work in 20 different locations around the area as well as two galleries/shops featuring the work of many regional artists. The weekend art adventure is a fun chance to meet the artists in their creative spaces, hear about their processes, see demonstrations, and shop for one-of-a-kind art.

“We’re excited to present two emerging artists, Kevin Reid and Donna Mili Otis this year along with several new artists and an amazing collection of artists who have participated for decades” says Tour Coordinator, Sue Pariseau. “Visiting the studios is free and there is artwork priced for any budget from $5 to $5000.”

Visit the tour’s website for more information and a downloadable/printable map at bluffcountrystudioarttour.org. Printed maps are also available at participating locations, Lanesboro & Winona Visitors Centers and many area businesses.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund. Additional support provided by the River Arts Alliance.

River Arts Alliance serves as fiscal sponsor of the Bluff Country Studio Art Tour.
