Welcome to the Open Studio Tour! Back to
Community Events Home Page
This collective group came together again to produce a studio tour
connecting artisans from Tiverton, RI to Dartmouth, MA. The August Open Studio
Tour was the weekend of August 18th & 19th, 2007. Studios were open 11-5
and the tour was free to the public.
Supported by artists for artists, the South Coast Open Studio Tour provides the
general public an unusual opportunity to have a first-hand look at local art
and craftsmanship flourishing on the Coast of Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

This event brings together small independent studio artists who produce
their own work and are eager to demonstrate their creative skills and crafts to
the public. Most of these artists and craftspeople work out of their home
studios and sell primarily through galleries and craft shows.
Travel off the beaten path to find these studios on the back roads, down narrow
lanes, and in local villages, far away from the malls and shopping centers,
stopping by each artists' studio and shop from Tiverton Four Corners to the
Little Compton Commons and the quaint little South Coast village of Adamsville
in RI, continuing through Westport, MA, to the villages of Russells
Mills and Padanaram in Dartmouth, MA. Get acquainted
with the artists and their work on a personal level.
Ask them why they make their art. Every piece has a story behind it. Visit the
artists in their own creative environments and connect the product to the
personality and place and how it was created. You will see pieces in many
stages of design and a variety of materials and machinery which the artists can
tell you about.
