The Wimberley Valley Art league (WVAL) is offering its annual artists’ studio tour this fall on September 18 & 19. This year visitors can view a wide variety of art by nine local artists at ten studio locations, making this showing an unique cross section of artistic activity in this area.
Residents and tourists will have the opportunity to visit workplaces not normally open to the public. Studios of the following artists will be shown: Sue Ellen Stavrand, fiber arts; Lilli Pell, Andre du Rand, paintings; Bob Cook, paintings and photography; Mary Fulton, clay sculpture; Rodney Bursiel, photography; Zanna James, jewelry; Bill Meek, glass sculpture; and Ronnie Weeks, assemblage. Profiles and photos of the artists and their studios will be featured in area newspapers as the tour dates approach. Several artists have websites where further information is available.
Tickets benefit the WVAL, a non-profit organization, and its art education projects. For this special fund-raising event tickets will be priced the same as last year: $15 for adults and $7 for students. Artwork will be available at various studios and a percentage of the sales will also benefit WVAL projects. Tickets will be available mid-August at the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see what makes Wimberley an artist colony truly unique to the Texas Hill Country!
