It's time again for the Chatham County Open Studio Tour!
This year's Tour starts off with a big party and reception on December 2nd, 7- 9pm at Chatham Mills in Pittsboro. After Thanksgiving we'll transform the center space at Chatham Mills into a gallery filled with work by Studio Tour Artists and our 6 Guest Artists. And we’ll fill the Mill's hallways with the astounding work of students from Chatham County schools. At the Friday night reception, look for information on our Raffle and Scavenger Hunt to add excitement and fun to your Studio Tour experience.
And there's more! This year, Chatham Artists Guild has added a Mill Shop and musical performances by Chatham County school groups to the Tour festivities! The Northwood High School jazz band, & perhaps the Pittsboro Elementary School Chorus will perform on December 3rd and 4th.
The Mill Shop, located within the gallery, will offer smaller-priced items by our Guild members during the Friday night reception, the Studio Tour First Weekend Saturday 10 - 5 and Sunday 12 - 5, and through Wednesday December 7th.
