16th Annual Come to Leicester Artist Studio Tour

August 21, 2021 - August 22, 2021

FREE

For the 16th year in a row, artists in this small community will open their studios to the public for the annual Come to Leicester Studio Tour. This free, self-guided event is held every third weekend in August, with this year’s tour dates being August 21st and 22nd, 10 AM to 6PM each day.

Visitors choose their own tour stops using a printed brochure with a full-color map of the area, with bold signs directing to the individual studios. The tour route travels through some of the most scenic rural countryside in Western North Carolina. Along the way, visitors can view beautiful, hand-crafted work and meet the artists who create it. The variety of arts and crafts on the tour includes brooms, pottery, painting, furniture, iron work, fiber art, and stained glass. Local food, wine-tasting, and a Saturday community Fish Fry add to the experience of the day!
