The Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour will return October 4-6, offering attendees an opportunity to visit with 74 juried artists across 53 private studios (as well as additional artists in four art centers), observe their creative processes and purchase one-of-a-kind works of art.
The free, self-guided tour runs 10 AM to 4 PM each day. Attendees may begin at any location and visit as many studios as they like. For detailed information and maps, visit

Among many others, the tour’s selection of artists includes:
Dale Andress, metal sculpture. Dale has been making art in one form or another for as long as he can remember. He leans toward sculpture for the tactile sensation in creating. Dale will appear at Tour Studio No. 29: Andress Studio, 246 W. Soaring Ave. in Prescott.
Denise Incao, ceramics. Denise creates abstract expressionistic wall pieces, as well as whimsical and functional vessels and everyday ware. Meet Denise at Tour Studio No. 47, Denise Incao Studio, 450 W. Gina Marie Blvd. in Paulden.
Alison Heavirland, jewelry. Alison’s jewelry designs reflect organic movement and shapes. Alison will appear at Tour Studio No. 6: AH Metalworks, 697 6th St., Ste 106 in Prescott.
Patty Lindsey, glass. Patty started with stained glass, then moved to metal sculptures and has finally blended the two to create sculptural glass. Find Patty at Tour Studio No. 26: Glass Goons, 4455 N. Juniper Dr. in Chino Valley.
Holly Weisel, painting. Holly describes oil paintings as “luscious” and watercolors as “wild and unexpected.” Guiding mules into Bryce Canyon and working with horses for most of her life makes for some beautiful paintings of amazing animals. Holly will appear at Tour Studio No. 44: Thunderheart Jewelry, 11301 N. Sleek Way in Prescott Valley.
Carol Ward, fiber art. A colorful palette of botanically dyed silk and linen threads interwoven with prayers brings Carol’s vision to life in tiny tapestries. Meet Carol at Tour Studio No. 23: Blue Violet Prayers, 455 Bernice Dr. in Chino Valley.
Most artists on the tour will be raffling one of their works. Raffle tickets may be purchased and used at any tour location. Proceeds from ticket sales will be used to fund art programs for children in the Quad-City area as well as next year’s tour. The winning tickets will be drawn at each location after 4 Pm on Sunday, Oct. 6.
