A Thriving Artist Community

Southeast Minnesota is home to a vibrant community of talented artists, many of whom are award-winning in their respective fields. The Bluff Country Studio Art Tour aims to showcase this incredible talent and promote the region as a must-visit destination for cultural tourism.

During the event, you’ll discover hidden gems tucked away in charming towns and rural settings. Whether you’re a seasoned art collector or simply appreciate the beauty of handcrafted pieces, this tour is sure to inspire and delight.

Supporting Local Artists

By participating in the Bluff Country Studio Art Tour, you’re not only treating yourself to a weekend of artistic exploration but also supporting the local artist community. Many of these Minnesota artists only open their studios to the public once a year, making this event a unique opportunity to connect with them and purchase one-of-a-kind pieces directly from the source.

Jack and I will definitely see you there!
