Updates about the South Valley Art Tour

**THIS INFO IS FOR ARTIST REGISTRATION ONLY** visitor tickets are only $20 (admits 2) and will go on sale in January, 2019.

Artist registration is now open!

Artists you have until October 31st to register for the premier art event in Tulare County! Please click here to join the tour! 

 

Show and sell your art in the comfort of your own creative space on Saturday, March 30 and Sunday 31, 2019 during our South Valley Art Tour. At this event, you will help us increase the value of the arts in Tulare County by providing our community with 1) the opportunity to further understand the value of your art through demonstrations, 2) insights into your individual creative processes, and 3) a behind the scenes look at the different phases or facets of your work. The SVAT also 4) allows you to answer questions and make more personalized relationships with prospective clients.

WHAT HAS CHANGED: Due to popular demand, the Arts Consortium’s biennial South Valley Artists’ Studio Tour is now an annual event which we are calling the South Valley Art Tour. Along with the change to our event’s name, our 2019 South Valley Art Tour will feature artist studios located SOUTH of Highway 198. If your studio is located South of 198, we would love to have you on the tour. If your studio is located North of 198, we will be featuring you in 2020. Studios along Highway 198 located east of Lake Kaweah will be considered part of the Northern studios.

WHAT HAS STAYED THE SAME: Registration to our South Valley Art Tour is still only $50.00. Also, if you are located on the North end of Tulare County or you don’t have a studio space of your own, feel free to combine your creative forces and show space with other artists. If you do not know someone who might host you, we can help find you a shared space!

All artists must register individually, before October 31st in order to be included in our printed promotional materials. No exceptions will be made. Registration fees are non-refundable.
