Artisans sought for 2018 studio tour

The Tokeland-North Cove Chamber of Commerce is looking for artists, donations and volunteers for its annual Art Studio Tour and Auction.

The 2018 tour will take place April 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., followed by a “wine and dine” auction to raise funds for the Ocosta School District’s art program.

Participating artists will be asked to open their personal workspaces for the day, allowing members of the community to witness demonstrations of work in different mediums.

Artists who can’t open their studios, or are from outside the area, may choose to rent a booth to show and discuss their work. A limited number of 10-by-10 spaces are available at the Tokeland Hotel and the Shoalwater Tribal Center.

The participation fee is $20 for a studio or $40 to rent a booth.

To inquire about becoming part of the tour, contact Michelle Lester at 360-590-2807 or mtb98901@yahoo.com.

For auction donations and volunteer opportunities, call Sandy Prosser at 360-713-1333.
