The excitement is building. King Township’s celebration of visual art is going to be a true extravaganza during Studio Tour King 2016, taking place on April 23 and 24.

Expect world-class art. Expect variety. Expect to have your sense of beauty aroused. Engage in conversation with the artists. Let them explain their works: see how they live and create.

The original event was conceived over 11 years ago by long-time participating artist, Marianne Broome.

This year, a total of 38 artists will present sculpture in metal, clay and wood, oil & acrylic paintings, art pencil drawings, photography, glass, wood, textiles, leather, and solar etching.

Across King Township, a total of 19 studios and public locations will open their doors to welcome visitors.

This year, distinguished artist Gordon Becker will be participating in Studio Tour King. His world renowned sculptures, made from wood, will be on display, including his sculpture of Blue Dancer, which was a winner at the Lorenzo il Magnifico World Art Competition in Florence, Italy.

Gordon also brings with him two new sculptures that will be unveiled on April 23, at 11 a.m. at 42 Manitou Drive, King City (location #13).

It takes a lot of effort, time, and resources to organize an event of the size of this year’s Studio Tour King. Thanks to all the people behind the scenes: the Studio Tour Committee members for their countless hours of work; all the generous King Township businesses who have opened their doors to artists and sponsored the tour, and to the people at the King Heritage and Cultural Centre and the King Township Municipal Office for their support.

On April 23 and 24, be part of Studio Tour King 2016. Breathe in the mystique beauty resonating with nature’s true harmony and let it stay with you to enrich your life, bring you joy, and spiritual richness.
