Artists in Ottawa West invite you to their studio tour on the weekends of Sept. 19 - 20 and 26 - 27 from 10-5pm. Aptly WEST is a pleasant walking tour of studios and artist's homes located in the West end of Ottawa.
WEST is a free tour organized annually by the artists themselves.
This juried tour has evolved into a group of 15 artists who invite the public into their homes, businesses and studios.
Come meet us in our own environment. It is a rare opportunity for art lovers to leave the quiet of the gallery and see the places that art is actually made -- they might be surprised to discover the creativity happening in their own backyards.
Pick up a map of the tour at businesses throughout the west end, art stores and libraries across Ottawa.
The Artists in this year's tour are: Derek Aylen, Heather Ballantyne, Janet Bell, Lynette Chubb, Eamon, Alison Fowler, Deidre Hierlihy, David W. Jones, Garrie Bea Joyce, Karen Loofs, Manju Sah, Barb Sohn, Edwina Sutherland, Jeff Wiebe, Paula Mitas Zoubek.
