The WAST 2020 Tour Returns…
Virtually that is
It's a weird time, isn't it? It seems hard to predict what is to come in the months ahead. We hope our friends of the tour will come out and support us again for 2020. We'll still have participating artists working in a variety of mediums — clay, painting, mixed media, photography, sculpted glass, and more, just with social distancing and new rules for our visitors.
Each of our artists will decide if they'll open their studios to visitors or not. We'll update their individual pages here, so stay tuned. As we work out the bumpy road ahead, it will remain our goal to ease into this and get it right for everyone.
In the meantime, please stay healthy and stay safe. We look forward to giving you a fulfilling art experience again this year.
Tour Dates
The first two weekends
in October.
Visit our Community Partners throughout
the year
We're really lucky to do what we do here in Bellingham & Whatcom County. What's not to love — the location, the natural beauty, and some really great Community Partners that contribute to the health and success of the Tour. The Tour's been in existence for 26 years now, and we want to shout out to some great local folks who help to keep us going and growing. Visit our Community Partners page to find out more.
