The Open Studios Tour scheduled for 2020 was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID pandemic.
After a one year hiatus the Open Studios Tour returned in 2021. There were over 50 studios participating in the tour.
We are grateful to the Regional Arts and Culture Council and to the Oregon Arts Commission both of which gave us grants in 2020. These grants enabled us to stay financially healthy despite having to postpone the 2020 tour. The money ended up being used mostly towards the costs of the 2021 Open Studios Tour, the rest allowed us to cover our fixed expenses including website hosting in 2020. We did not apply for or receive any grants in 2021.
The list of participating artists is here.
Mentorship Program
We modified our mentorship program in 2021 to make it available to a wider range of candidates. There was no upper age limit for artists who wanted to be mentored. We offered five different mentorship opportunities.
This is the list of mentorships offered.

Online Studios
We introduced a new program called online studios. This was to accommodate those artists who did not feel safe opening their studios to the public. Just two artists participated in 2021 but we would like to expand that number for 2022.
