Every year the artists and artisans of Ontario and western Quebec open their doors to the public in organized studio tours. Individual artists exhibit their work in their own homes and studios, many of them nestled down picturesque country roads, or tucked beside a placid lake or babbling brook. Every art form imaginable—and some unimaginable—adorn studio walls, outdoor spaces, and even gardens. You will find no shortage of tours to enjoy throughout the year.
