Call to Washington County Artisans and Artists: Annual Artisan Trails July 13 & 14

WASHINGTON COUNTY — Artists and artisans are invited to participate in a weekend celebrating the talent in Washington County. 

The sixth annual Artisan Trails in Washington County - a weekend of open studios and mini vendor fairs – will take place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 13-14. 

Artists and artisans are invited to apply by May 15, online at www.artisan-trails.org. 

New this year, “hubs,” such as breweries, galleries, shops, etc. will host multiple artisans and artists at their location on the open studios tour, along with live demonstrations, plein aire painting and workshops. 

The event is organized by Karen and Steve Mattison with Kris Gregson Moss, who co-founded the Artisan Trails in Washington County in 2018 with Susan Whiting. 

The tour typically includes studios of painters, textile artists, metal sculpturists, stained glass artists, photographers, potters, furniture makers, beekeepers, blacksmiths, farms, cider houses, breweries and more. The event itself is free and open to the public.
