Rules

  • Studios must be located within the boundary of Spartanburg County.
  • Studios are required to include a “working” artist space. Artists will include some type of display that allows visitors to observe their creative process. Simply setting up a gallery space in your living room is not acceptable.
  • The studio must also be a safe environment with adequate display and walking space for artists and visitors. Also, studios must provide safe and adequate parking.
  • Artists will be required to attend an Orientation Meeting held prior to the Studio Tour to assist them with their questions and preparation for the event.

    • This is a Juried Event

    Jury Process

    Artists will be selected by a Jury composed of professionals and established artists from the community. The jurying process ensures that the artwork included on the tour is original work, of high quality, and ready for exhibition. Jurors will also assess studio space through photo documentation to ensure it is appropriate and safe for the general public to visit.
