Tour of the Arts
Although the Tamaracks weren’t in gold this year,
Alpine Artisans’ Tour of the Arts was still a
great opportunity to get out and see the artist’s
work, often in their studios.
The Tour of the Arts 2025 was held the weekend of October 11-12, offering opportunities to visit over 25 artists in their studios. Visitors were welcomed into their artistic lifestyle, learning first hand about their art, and seeing their passion as they create.
Information about what took place during the 2025 Tour, including the tour map is below.

The tour map (shown below) indicates artists’ studios as well as galleries and museums where their work is on display.
Several businesses where artists display their work include the Grizzly Claw Trading Co. and the West Wing of the Community Foundation building in Seeley Lake, plus 406 Mercantile in Lincoln .
The tour is continuing our collaboration with two local historical museums featuring nine of our artists: Condon's Upper Swan Valley Historical Museum and Ovando's Brand Bar Museum. Each museum is housed in a fascinating historical building, and visitors will enjoy absorbing the local lore and old stories side-by-side with experiencing these artists' techniques and perspectives.
