Expect the Unexpected

at the Durham West Arts Centre Spring Studio Tour

It’s time once again for the Durham West Arts Centre (DWAC) Spring Studio Tour taking place Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28th from 10:00 to 5:00. The success of last year’s tour has led to an expanded roster of 23 artists with an even greater variety of media.

Besides touring artist’s studios, this year the tour is pleased to have two gallery ‘partners’ taking part. Diane Huson will be showcasing her outstanding work at the SilverStone Gallery near the foot at 617 Liverpool Road South and Marie Blanchard-Thomas will be showing her lovely floral and wave pieces at Cultural Expressions in Pickering Village at 62 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax.

Everything from stone carving (Gordon Reidt) to mammoth scrimshaw (Clay James) and raku (Deborah Johnston) to recycled wonders (Lianne Snow) will be on display on this year’s tour. The tour is a virtual treasure hunt as you plan your route to find the work that inspires your own tastes. If you would like a brochure email your address to Steven at sjfrank23@yahoo.ca and one will be mailed to you. Or you can print a map from the pdf on this page and start planning your route. The pdf with the artists is too big to print but will also help you decide your tour.

The links to the artist’s websites will also help you decide whose studios you would like to tour. If you can tour both days, you might want to visit some of the in-town artists one day and the rural artists on another day. Beautiful locations like Christl Niemuller’s, Hanneke Koonstra’s and Kim Lowes’ are further out if you are coming from the south so give yourself a little more time and enjoy a nice drive through the countryside. What a great way to discover the hamlets of Claremont, Greenwood and Goodwood as well.

The event is free and if you need more information contact Steven Frank at
