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.
