Cornwall Ontairo — TAG is pleased to present Apples & Art 2013. The popular studio tour will run for two days, on Saturday September 28 and Sunday September 29, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and is open to members of the general public, art patrons and the merely curious. This annual event is in its 22nd year.

It showcases first-time exhibitors along with familiar artists who have anchored the program for years. Whether they are new or seasoned exhibitors, all the artists have created works and explored themes that will provoke, engage and delight, and as per custom, the artists are opening their studios free of charge.

The venues are located throughout the united counties from South Lancaster through Cornwall to Morrisburg.  Given the beauty of the season and the scenic drives from studio to studio, the Apples & Art Tour doubles as a 2-day staycation in the fall. A viewer doesn’t have to travel to Europe to see great art.

On both days of the tour, Apples & Art 2013 will feature 22 artists working in 12 venues. Some will work solo and some in groups. As in the past, the tour gives participants  the opportunity to watch artists at work, to browse through their viewing collection. and even buy the pieces they want to enjoy in their own homes for years to come. We encourage you to mark your calendars now and take the tour.
