Art on Fire

Welcome to the South Coast Artists
23rd Annual Studio Tour!

Let’s celebrate the 23rd year of the tour on the weekends of July 18-19 and August 15-16. This year artists are exploring the theme The Fire Within as they prepare for your visit. There are 75 artists ready to show you what they’ve created.

Creativity is like a fire, sometimes burning brightly and glowing with the passion that artists are excited to share with you. Let this element guide you from studio to artist, asking questions at every stop along the way. 

The tour is a FREE event for the whole family. Studio visits encourage an open dialogue between you and the artist in their personal space. Develop a report with the art and artist. Don’t be shy. Be curious.

Each studio and/or gallery is a unique experience. Plan a route that considers your interests. Sketch out your adventure on this brochure or with the SCA mobile app – South Coast Artists. It’s a free app you can download. This digital feature lets you easily navigate the back roads.

As president of SCA, I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit the creative South Coast.  Whether you are new to the area, or a veteran SCA art lover, lifelong friendships are created along the trail. Be prepared for an unforgettable art adventure that you and your family will never forget.

 We look forward to seeing you!
