Glebe Art in Our Gardens and Studio Tour

By Martha Bowers

One of the Glebe’s most anticipated events is back again this summer. The Glebe Art in Our Gardens and Studio Tour will be held on July 8 and 9, rain or shine.

This popular tour brings together local artists in Glebe gardens, offering visitors the chance to meet some talented people in lovely garden settings. There is a wide range of art available for purchase, from paintings and photographs to pottery – you will be sure to find something you like.

Grouping 20 artists at 13 sites makes this a very compact, accessible tour. Come by foot, by bike, by public transit or carpool. Chat with the artists, share gardening tips, take a break for a coffee or lunch in one of the neighbourhood restaurants, enjoy a summer weekend in our community.

Once again, we are offering prizes. Pick up a ballot at any site and deposit it in the box. The more sites you visit, the more chances you will have to win a voucher towards the purchase of a work of art from any participating artist.

Site maps and cards with the list of artists will be available in Glebe shops and the community centre, and there will be notices on social media. Information is also available on our website www.glebearttour.ca. Come out between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on July 8 and 9 to support local artists.

Welcome to the 2023 Glebe Art in Our Gardens and Studio Tour!

Martha Bowers is one of the organizers of the Glebe Art in Our Gardens and Studio Tour.
