The Church of St. John in the Wilderness presents Artist Studio Tour 2024, Saturday, November 30, from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Sixteen artists, who live and work in lower Columbia County, will open their studio doors and allow visitors who have purchased a $25 ticket to view their work. A portion of the proceeds will benefit St. John in the Wilderness.

“This is a fun and unique opportunity to drive from one studio to the next, at your own pace and leisure, seeing what happens behind the curtain,” said Marjorie Hoog, curator of the event. “These fantastic artists are volunteering their time to share their work with the public.” Most of the work displayed will be for sale.
