ART HARVEST EDUCATIONAL STUDIO TOUR—Many of the Tour's artists open their studios mid-week—this year October 7th, 8th and 9th—for a very special event for local Yamhill County students. This event, the Art Harvest Educational Studio Tour, is for school-aged students and provides them with a wonderful opportunity to experience art, see how and where it is made, and meet the artists who create it. Some studios also offer hands-on art making experiences and demonstrations.

The Art Harvest Student Studio Tour is offered free to participating students and their teachers. We assist schools with reimbursements for buses, mileage used to take the students on the scheduled tours and substitute teachers to allow regular teachers or school staff to accompany students on the tour. This is possible thanks to our many generous supporters. We hope this experience will be the catalyst that helps to spark students’ talents, interest and endeavors in the arts

The Art Harvest Studio Tour is a presentation of the Arts Alliance of Yamhill County.
