This free self-guided studio tour has become an anticipated event for art lovers since it began in 2007 allowing you to visit many of the artists’ studios, which are close to each other scattered in front of the awesome Superstitions Mountains. The juried artists offer their creativity in Clay, Fabric, Glass, Gourds, Jewelry, Painting, Photography, Pottery, Sculpture, Wood, and more. You will be treated to unique locally handcrafted wearables, home decor and more.
This gives you a wonderful time to just relax and spend the weekend in the Gold Canyon/Apache Junction area, driving roads less traveled, visiting studios, meeting with the artists, and watching them demonstrate their creativity. While visiting each studio, take some time to really see the art works these artists create, and you might find a special piece that speaks to you.
The Superstition Mountains have inspired people for many years in different ways. The Tonto National Forest brings with it not only saguaros, but a wide variety of wildlife that freely roam the area which many artists include in their art.
In 2017, 74 artists were showcased at 22 studios. This year’s tour is expected to feature 77 artists in 24 studios!
Maps are available from the Chamber of Commerce of Apache Junction/Gold Canyon as well as the AOTS website: www.artistsofthesuperstitions.com. The map includes the addresses of each studio on the tour, the names of the artists, and each artist’s special medium. Maps will also be available at each studio.
More detailed information may be found at the Artists of the Superstitions website, www.artistsofthesuperstitions.com, or email your questions to: artists.superstitions@gmail.com.
Some of this year’s artists are: Barbarann Manzer, Julie Hathaway, Sandy Pendleton, Jana Blok, Dave Huffman, Susan Miller, Bill Vitalec, Judy Coffman and Jerry Cave.
