Arts Council hosts studio tour

The Pocono Arts Council presents a free Artist’s Open Studio Tour from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Ten local artists have agreed to open their studios to visitors. Explore real working art studios, chat with the artists themselves, and purchase a piece or two if you wish.

For more information on the artists and to download a map, visit http://poconoarts.org/programs/annual-special-events/studio-tour/.

There is no set route, so “jump in” anywhere — it’s free and open to all. Just pop an address into your GPS and have a great ART adventure weekend.

The Pocono Arts Council is a local arts service organization serving Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike and Wayne counties. The mission of the council is to build the community artistically and culturally by providing leadership, service and education — “Culture Builds Community.” For further information, visit www.poconoarts.org or call 570-476-4460.
