Tour of the Arts
We’re always hopeful that the Tamaracks will be in full color
during Alpine Artisans’ Tour of the Arts
which will be taking place the weekend of
October 11-12, 2025.
The Tour of the Arts is an opportunity to visit over 25 artists in their studios, meet them immersed in their passion and see them at work. During this self-guided tour, visitors will be welcomed into their artist lifestyle, learn first hand about their art, and hear their stories of creation.
Information for the 2025 Tour including the tour map are below.

The tour map (shown below) indicates artists’ studios as well as galleries and museums where their work is on display.
Several businesses where artists display their work include the Grizzly Claw Trading Co. and the West Wing of the Community Foundation building in Seeley Lake, plus 406 Mercantile in Lincoln .
The tour is continuing our collaboration with two local historical museums featuring nine of our artists: Condon's Upper Swan Valley Historical Museum and Ovando's Brand Bar Museum. Each museum is housed in a fascinating historical building, and visitors will enjoy absorbing the local lore and old stories side-by-side with experiencing these artists' techniques and perspectives.
