Art in Our Gardens and Studio Tour

May 13, 2022

The Glebe Art in Our Gardens and Studio Tour is a popular (and COVID-safe!) way to see local artists and their works on foot or by bike. Mark your calendars for July 9 and 10.

After a two-year hiatus, the Glebe Art in Our Gardens and Studio Tour is coming back this summer! It will be held on the weekend of July 9 and 10.

During 2020-21, in the midst of COVID-19, we were fortunate to have a pop-up gallery for a few months in one of the empty stores at Lansdowne Park. The artists were happy to have a safe place to exhibit their work during that difficult time. But now we are so excited to re-launch the tour in its original outdoor setting and to welcome visitors back to the lovely gardens of our Glebe neighbourhood.

This year you will see many familiar returning artists but also some new faces. There will be a range of art from painting to pottery to photography to glass-art window design.

Visitors will be pleased to hear they will be eligible to win a work of art by one of the artists by filling in a ballot during the weekend. Information and maps of the art sites will be available by June on social media, in local stores and on our website : www.glebearttour.ca.

Mark your calendars for this signature summer event and support local artists, important members of our community whose creativity brightens up our lives and our homes.
