SUPPORT
…our local art community
ADVERTISE. DONATE. SPONSOR.
The Whatcom Artist Studio Tour has been running for 32 years thanks to great community partners like you. In 2025, the Tour hosted more than 50 new and returning artists, showing in 44 studios across Whatcom County. Funds raised by ads sold, donations and sponsorships support our marketing and administrative fees for the coming year and allows us to expand our reach to Whatcom County artists and patrons from British Columbia to Oregon and beyond.
