The tenth annual HopArts Studio Trail will take place on October 17th and 18th from 10 AM to 5 PM. HopArts artists will once again open their studios to visitors to demonstrate their process and display their work. It has become the premier way to greet the autumn season, bringing together artists and the public in a personal and welcoming way.

This free event was started ten years ago by three local women who were inspired to invite the public to come to one of the prettiest corners of Rhode Island to discover a growing community of seasoned artists who live and work in the area.

This year we will be showcasing 30 artists in 15 studios and venues. The group includes award winning artists, recognized for their accomplishments. Participants work in a variety of mediums, including: oil paints and watercolors, wood and metal sculpture, photography, jewelry, glass, ceramic, stone, and textile and fabric art. Participating artists enjoy the chance to welcome new and returning visitors to our trail. The location, the time of year and the art work combine to make this a satisfying and very special experience.

You can start anywhere on the trail and visit as many artists as you like over the course of the weekend. Studios are located in and around Hope Valley, Exit 2 or 3 off Route #95. Brochure and map are available online at: studiotrail.hoparts.org, and at many of the local businesses along the way. The website and the brochure provide a map to guide you to each artist location, and offer information about each artist and their work.
