CUSTOMIZED TOURS:
-
A custom half day tour planned with your interests in mind. This option is approximately 3.5 hr and can be morning from 9:30-1; or afternoon from 1:30-5.
We will select 2-3 artist studio options in the Asheville or Weaverville areas based on your input and artist availability. Three studios are standard for this custom half-day option, or two glass studios work well in this time frame (due to glass demo’s taking a bit longer than other mediums).
-
A custom full day tour planned with your interests in mind. This option is a full day from 9:30a to approximately 4p.
Designed for the serious art lover! Lunch is included, and this tour allows for the possibility of visiting 4 artist studios that are 30-60 minutes away from Asheville: for example in Waynesville, Marshall, Burnsville, Penland or Spruce Pine. Many of western NC’s professional artists live in these locations, so come explore more of the region with me – your local art insider!
Tour rates per participant: New Glass Plus 1 tour $65/ea. | Custom half day $85/ea. | Custom full day $165/ea.
For custom tours, planning ahead is key. Art Connections provides tours for couples and small or medium size groups. These tours are based on your interests, your time frame, and which artists are available for a visit. I know that everyone who considers a tour has different thoughts on what they’d enjoy seeing. Maximize your visit by planning ahead with me. Having worked for over 30 years with so many of the artists in Western NC, I can accommodate participant interests and find options that are a good fit for each request.
