The PV Arts Board welcomed art lovers into the heart of the creative process with the 2026 installment of its Studio Tours program. For the first time, the public was invited inside the private working spaces of three artists selected by the board:
- Deborah Garland,
- Bill Daggett and
- Rotraut.
The tour offered guests an intimate look at how each artist transforms ideas into finished works, providing insight into techniques, materials, and daily studio practices. Visitors were encouraged to engage directly with the artists, ask questions, and experience the stories behind the art, with opportunities to purchase original pieces on site. The PV Arts Board plans to make the Studio Tours an annual offering, expanding access to the local arts community and fostering deeper connections between artists and the public.
