Preview at the
Edmonds Arts Festival

June 14, 15 & 16, 2024

The Edmonds Art Studio Tour is excited to announce a preview of some of this year’s tour artists during the Edmonds Arts Festival. Many of the tour artists will be selling their work and setting up demonstrations of their process in the Edmonds Plaza Room above the Library.

Over twenty of the artists selected to participate in the annual studio tour will be on hand throughout the weekend to promote their annual fall studio tour.

Above: Guests at the 2022 Preview Show participate in a community art project run by Whitney Buckingham-Beechie. Whitney asked guests to draw well wishes, parts of themselves, things they wish to be rid of, or whatever comes to mind. After the Edmonds Arts Festival Whitney burns the piece to meld it together and create a community art piece. The 2021 community art piece can be seen to the left, behind the current board.

Community Engagement

Guests at the 2022 Preview Show participate in a community art project run by Whitney Buckingham-Beechie.

Meet the Artists

The Preview is entirely staffed by our Tour artists, and is a great way to meet and connect with artists outside of their studio.
