Philomath Open Studios is on Facebook!
Our 14th Annual Philomath Open Studio Tour (POST), is coming this fall! Local artists will be opening their studios again for free, self-guided tours. Several shows will be available in local wine tasting rooms. Artists will discuss their processes and show work that may never have been on public display. A full spectrum of artistic mediums will be shown, including collage, painting, fiber art, jewelry, photography, ceramics, sculpture, and many more.
Preview gallery shows will be at the Brownsville Art Museum in Brownsville, and Gathering Together Farm on Grange Road in Philomath during the month of September. There will also be a Post POST show at the Benton County Historical Museum during November and December.

The 2016 Tour Map will be available here beginning about June. Beginning in mid-August, you can grab a copy at the Corvallis Arts Center, The Benton County Historical Museum or the Wine Vault in Philomath, or download here. Large yellow placards dot the route to keep visitors on track through the vineyards, valleys, woodlots, downtown Philomath and west Corvallis areas where the studios are located.
POST is a unique opportunity to talk with artists in their studios, see work in process and discuss where they find ideas and inspiration. A variety of work spaces are on the tour—daylight basements, special purpose additions and buildings, barns, attics, living rooms and pop-up studios in local businesses. What inspires the artists is on the bulletin boards and bookshelves of their respective studios. Tools specific to each medium can be seen. It is a rare opportunity to shake the hand of the artist that made the artwork in the place where it was conceived and created.
