Time: 10:00am to 5:00pm on both days
At this event, you will help us increase awareness of the myriad creative spaces in Tulare County and you will provide our community with the following:
a) the opportunity to further understand the value of your art, possibly through live demonstrations
b) insights into your individual creative processes.
c) a behind the scenes look at the different phases or facets of your artwork.
d) allow our community members to ask questions and make more personalized relationships with you for prospective commissions.
Our 2025 South Valley Art Tour will feature artist studios from all of Tulare County!
This pre-event meet & greet is exclusivly for participating artists of the 2025 South Valley Art Tour. This is an opportunity for participating artists to meet each other. It will replace what was called the "pre-tour." The artist meet & greet will still take place on a weekend before the South Valley Art Tour. The plan is to have at least two meet & greet days; artists will be able to decide which to attend. The artist meet & greet will take place in February or March, where one is held North of Highway 198 and another that is held South of Highway 198. (more than two dates can be added if there is a demand) After registration ends, a separate form will be sent out to those artists who marked that they are interested in participating to coordinate dates, times, and places.
This meet & greet is a great opportunity to network with fellow artists. It is a chance for new participating artists to ask questions and for artists who have done this in the past to share their experiences and tips.
2025 BENEFITS INCLUDE:
1) No extra fees or commission on sales you make in the comfort of your own creative space.
2) Permitted shared spaces allow for networking with other artists and learning new ways to display your own work.
3) Social media and printed promotions
4) One lawn sign, that displays event, is included with an artist registration.
