The Studio ARTour will take place Friday through Sunday in Faribault, Northfield and Dundas. The tour will showcase 41 artists’ works across 19 studios in the three cities, up from 35 artists and 15 sites last year. These exhibitions will include works in ceramics, painting, jewelry, textiles, glass, metal and wood. There will also be musical performances throughout the tour’s run. “I anticipate hopefully that growing over this next year as well, and just getting a lot more people involved,” ARTour lead Heather McNabnay said. One of those locations will be the Paradise Center for the Arts, which will host works from four artists on the tour, including director Julie Fakler. “We’re excited to have the ARTour here again,” Fakler said. In addition, the Paradise will feature artwork from the City Pastel Collective and Bethlehem Academy students. “We work with (Bethlehem Academy art teacher) Jacob Hillesheim quite a bit,” Fakler said. “There’s usually a variety of mediums and a variety of artists, and it’s usually very, very well put-together by Jacob.” The Paradise will also host a gallery opening reception Friday from 5-7 p.m., followed by a performance by the Brothers Allmanac, an Allman Brothers cover band, at 7:30 p.m.
