The 4th Mancos Artist Studio Tour 2018

October 6th – All around the Mancos Valley

Join us for the 4th Mancos Artist Open Studio Tour on October 6 from 10:00-5:00.  This year’s studio tour features 17 local artists located in the heart of the downtown Mancos Creative District and throughout the beautiful Mancos Valley.  This self-guided tour offers an unique and intimate look at spaces where these artists work and create as well as a chance to talk with the artists about their creative process.  Many artists will be providing demonstrations in their studios throughout the day.

Featured art includes blacksmithing, ornamental ironwork, sculpture, pottery, painting, encaustics, mixed media, jewelry and more.

The self-guided tour starts at the Mancos Visitor’s Center at 101 Bauer where participants can come and pick up a map of the studios participating.  Maps will also be available at each of the studios along the way. Spend the day exploring the galleries and studios of the beautiful Mancos Valley and end your day at the Mancos Brewery, Fenceline Cidery or one of our restaurants.

Mancos, Colorado at the intersection of art and adventure, lies between the majestic La Plata Mountains and the mysterious grandeur of Mesa Verde and is home to countless artists, ranchers, inventors, craftsmen, foodies, makers, growers, and more.

The Mancos Creative District spans several blocks in the historic downtown area of town and is home to galleries, artisan cooperatives, an historic opera house, a thriving common press, late 1800’s buildings, and home to our myriad of cowboys, craftsmen, artists, musicians, brewers, chefs, farmers and makers.
