A Weekend Inside the Creative Process

The Haywood County Studio Tour is a free, self-guided event that invites you into the working studios of local artists across the county.

For one weekend each year, studios open their doors so you can:

  • Meet the artists behind the work

  • Watch live demonstrations

  • Explore diverse creative spaces

  • Purchase original artwork directly from makers

From downtown Waynesville to scenic rural studios, this tour is your chance to experience art where it is actually made.
