SageBrushers Art Society of Bend proudly presents the Second Annual Bend Artists’ Studio Tour, taking place Saturday, September 13 and Sunday, September 14 from 11am-4pm each day. This much-anticipated event features 15 diverse artists across seven studio locations throughout Bend, offering the community a rare opportunity to step inside working studios and connect directly with the creators behind the art.
This self-guided tour is more than an art show — it’s a behind-the-scenes experience where visitors can see where and how art is made, ask questions, watch demonstrations and learn about each artist’s unique process. Participating artists work in a wide variety of media, reflecting the rich diversity of Bend’s creative scene.
After a rewarding experience as a participant in last year’s inaugural tour, local multimedia artist and instructor Jesica Carleton stepped up to coordinate the 2025 event. Driven by a passion for community connection and creative exchange, she hopes to build on the momentum and energy of last year’s success. “There’s something truly powerful about meeting the artist in their own space — it deepens our appreciation for the work and the process,” says Carleton.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector, an aspiring artist, or simply curious, this event offers a welcoming and inspiring way to explore Bend’s vibrant art scene. Plan your own route and visit as many studios as you like — there’s no admission fee.
