Introducing the NEW Rideau Lakes 2026 Studio Tour Passport

Complete your Passport, and you'll be entered into a prize draw. 

This year, three lucky winners will receive a $100 gift card toward the purchase of art or craft from any artist on the Rideau Lakes Studio Tour!

The draws will take place at an RLST artists' wrap-up, and the winners will be notified by phone and email.  Please print your details clearly, you don't want to miss out!

Start planning your route, gather your friends, and get ready to explore, connect, and celebrate the remarkable artists of Rideau Lakes.

See you on the Tour!

You can pick up a passport at any studio location.  Or you can print out your passport directly.  See the link below to get a printable PDF.  Bring it along and prepare to be dazzled by art!

As you visit the studios on the Tour, collect a signature, stamp, or sticker from each stop.  There are 12 locations to visit.

Artists might have a table set up for you to collect your sticker, or you may reach out directly to the artist for a signature or initial.

If there is more than one artist at a site, you only need one signature or stamp.

Please come and enjoy the Tour at your own pace.

There is no minimum number of stamps you need to be entered into the draw. 

You do not need to purchase art or crafts to collect a stamp.  You can visit the studios in any order!  Create your own adventure.

If you have come out to the Tour, to three stops, or two, or even one, we are just so happy to have you be part of our Tour. 

Of course, we will be delighted to see a passport card filled out; how much fun would that be!

Want to keep your Passport as a souvenir? 

We would love that. Simply take a photo of your completed Passport and email it to info@rideaulakesstudiotour.ca to be entered into the draw. We will print all the submitted images.

 At the conclusion of the Rideau Lakes Studio Tour, all eligible passports will be entered into a random draw. The three winners will be contacted directly using the information provided on their passport. 

 Winners will be notified by phone or email shortly after the draw. Be sure your contact information is clearly printed on your passport. 

 Winners may redeem their gift card with any participating artist on the Rideau Lakes Studio Tour. The $100 may be applied toward a larger purchase or used to acquire artwork or fine craft valued at $100 or less. 

The Passport Program is designed to make your tour experience even more engaging while encouraging visitors to discover the wonderful variety of artists, studios, and communities that make up the Rideau Lakes Studio Tour. It's a fun way to explore, connect, and celebrate creativity across the region.

By completing and returning your passport, you're also helping us stay in touch with you about future Studio Tours, special events, and exciting news from our artistic community. We hope you'll share your experience and feedback with us as well. Your insights help us continue to grow and improve the tour, ensuring that each year offers an even richer and more inspiring experience for both visitors and artists alike.

Thank you for being part of our creative community and for supporting local artists and makers. We look forward to welcoming you back year after year. 

Only one passport per visitor may be entered into the draw.  Thank you so much!
