The Garrett County Artist Studio Tour is less than two weeks away – on July 22-23, 2023, from 11 am – 5 pm daily. This tour showcases county artists’ working studios. Residents and tourists are encouraged to travel the scenic byways of Garrett County to meet local artists and view them at work.
If you cannot make the tour but would like to visit my studio, please get in touch, and I’ll be happy to set up a time for you to stop by.
Location
My studio is located at 2355 Turkey Neck Road, Swanton, MD. 21561.
This week Garrett County celebrates the National Road Festival in Grantsville, Maryland – an annual event that celebrates the historic National Road, also known as U.S. Route 40. The National Road Festival is celebrated along the road across Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Piece of History
The National Road was one of the first federally-funded highways in the United States and was built in the early 1800s to connect the eastern seaboard to the western frontier. It played an important role in the country’s westward expansion and is recognized as a National Scenic Byway.
I always enjoy visiting Grantsville and have painted some subject matter from the area more than once, including Stanton’s Mill and the Casselman River Bridge which served as an important link on the National Road from 1813 to 1933.
It’s hard to think about summer, but it will be here before we know it.
Save the Date!
Please save the date for the weekend of July 22nd and 23rd, 2023, for the annual Garrett County Artist Studio Tour. The Studio Tour allows you to meet and greet with the talented artists in and around Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County in their studios.
One of my favorite events of the year, my studio will be open and ready with new art.
Below is a sneak peek at an untitled piece that might be on view, provided it does not find a new home beforehand.
