Falling Leaves Art Studio Tour

Oct. 4 & 5, 2008

Thank You to this year's visitors !

We truly appreciate your interest and enjoyed visiting with you.

We are already working and planning for next year's tour. Even though we don't have the tour again for another year, we are here and available to supply you with unique gift and decorating items. If you find yourself wishing you had bought that "whatever" for Aunt Martha's birthday or a special gift for someone for Christmas, we would be happy to help fill your needs.

If you would like to offer suggestions on how we can make the tour more enjoyable for you, we would be happy to hear from you. Check here often, we hope to expand and improve our web page.

 

The Falling Leaves Art Studio Tour is an annual tour of the studios of a number of artists who live and work in or near Augusta, Fairchild, Fall Creek, Humbird, and Osseo Wisconsin. The tour winds through  scenic backroads in the area and affords an opportunity to see both rural farms and woods and the studios and work of painters, potters, carvers, candlemakers, and jewelers. Tour members are a loose cooperative of individual artists and craftsmen and membership (and thus the tour) may change some from year to year.
