Many Artists, Many Mediums
The Rideau Lakes Studio Tour celebrates the artists who shape the creative spirit of our region. During our annual event, participating artists welcome visitors into their working studios, sharing their inspiration, processes, and finished works in the very spaces where creativity unfolds. Select locations may also feature special guest artists, adding new perspectives and discoveries along the way. The Tour offers a meaningful opportunity to meet the artists, experience their work firsthand, and connect with the vibrant artistic community that defines Rideau Lakes.
Unique Studios
During this annual event, artists welcome visitors into a wide range of inspiring places where creativity lives and grows. Studios may be found in heritage buildings, lakeside homes, quiet village settings, and peaceful rural landscapes that shape the work created there. In some cases, artists share space in group locations when their private studios are not easily accessible, ensuring their voices and artwork remain an important part of the Tour experience. Together, these varied settings reflect the many ways creativity happens across Rideau Lakes. The result is a warm, welcoming journey that invites visitors to meet the artists, experience their work firsthand, and discover the beauty of art woven into the region’s history, landscape, and community.
