Introducing... Opal!

We are pleased to introduce another new member of the Stouffville Studio Tour..... Opal Dunbar-Adams. 

Opal says:

I get great inspiration from our beautiful Canadian landscape., especially Northern Ontario and Quebec. The awe and grandeur is hard to miss, but sometimes capturing it on canvas can be eluding. 

'Campfires' is my new series of work that I hope brings to mind the never ending nights that we spent in the great outdoors. More to come!

Opal is Studio number 12 on this years Tour. To see more of her work please go to www.opaldunbaradams.com

Marie Messina

As artists we get inspiration from many different things. 
Studio Tour artist Marie Messina recently spent her vacation  in the Ottawa Valley. She really enjoyed her time there.   

"Ottawa Valley is a mecca for art galleries and studios. The people are warm and so very appreciative for your visit. Definitely deserves going back and exploring more. Enjoy the pictures"

Thanks Marie

Marie and Margaret

 A picture from last year's Tour at a very popular spot, four artists at one studio. On our Tour every location is a studio of at least one of the artists, therefore some of the stops have more than one artist! 

The Studio Tour artists have started gearing up for the 2012 Tour Weekend.  

Ray McNeice and Margaret Grandison are happy to be again hosting their good friend, potter Marie Messina and their talented photographer son, James Wilkes. This made for a very busy household last year as witnessed by Marie and Margaret taking a much-needed break behind the kitchen counter.

 Thanks to Ray for the write up and James for the picture.

Getting close

All the artists are busy putting the final touches on their Studios. Our Tour has a special feature that is different than a lot of other tours.... all our locations are actual Studios... as matter of fact that is one of our criteria ... you must show your work where you create unless you are a guest artist. So all of the locations are where an artist works!

Don't miss this Tour. We are looking forward to meeting you!

Look at us!

First meeting of the artists...

About the tour

The tour is a great way to spend an autumn day in Whitchurch-Stouffville. We’re close to the city but have a small town atmosphere and the warm welcome to go along with it. An added bonus is that is it's completely free! The art of course is for sale, but there are no admission fees, and never any pressure to buy. If all you wish is to come and browse, get inspired, and chat with the artists, that's just great. We love to share our gifts with other people and always enjoy your feedback.
We certainly hope you can join us for the Stouffville Studio Tour on October 16th and 17th 2010, our 10th Anniversary!
