The 9th Annual Estes Park Artist Studio Tour is back and better than ever, inviting art lovers, curious minds, and local explorers to go behind the scenes with some of Estes Park’s most talented artists. On Saturday and Sunday, August 2—3, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., ten local studios will open their doors to the public for a free, self-guided tour filled with creativity, conversation, and inspiration.

This year’s tour features ten professional local artists along with three guest artists, working in a variety of disciplines including woodturning, sculpture, ceramics, oil painting, mixed media, and more. Visitors can observe demonstrations, ask questions, and experience firsthand the tools, techniques, and processes that bring original works of art to life.

“We open our doors not just to sell our work, but to share our process, our space, and our passion,” said artist Victoria Endsley. “There’s something special about seeing where the creative process happens.”

What to Expect:

Diverse Art Forms: From handcrafted wooden bowls to expressive oils on canvas, the Tour offers something for every art enthusiast, collector, or curious passerby. Affordably Priced Art: Handmade pieces start at just $10, making it easy to take home a piece of the experience. Authentic Studio Access: Get a rare peek into real working studios—some just off the highway, others tucked up a scenic dirt road.
