Art Tour Showcases Indiana Artists from Switzerland, Ohio Counties

Switzerland and Ohio County Tourism offices announce the Creative Spaces Rural Places Studio Art Tour weekend. The free event takes place April 24-25, 2010 throughout galleries, studios, and businesses located across both Indiana counties.

Nearly 40 artists are scheduled to appear at approximately 25 locations during the event. Sculpture, paint, glass, fiber, steel, wood, and photography are a few of the mediums that will be represented.

“The collaboration of the two counties during this event exposes the public to a wide array of talent in our areas,” said Kendal Miller, public relations spokesperson for Switzerland County Tourism.

“This art tour is full of wonderful opportunities to not only familiarize locals and tourists with both Switzerland and Ohio Counties but to meet and converse with its artists in their personal and professional environments,” explained Miller.

The tour is from 10:00-6:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday and is open to the public. Participating artists will have artwork available for sale.
