The Fire Hall itself will be transformed into a gallery during the event, serv ing as one'of the group show locations. "One of the great features of this art tour is that it gives attendees the unique pleasure of visiting artists in their very own studios and seeing their works in progress," Mitchell said. "After all, an artist’s studio environment can actually inspire the artistic process." "We will have brochures to encourage patronage of our local restaurants, retail shops and inns," Mitchell continued. The festiv al can be experienced as a daylong event or a weekend stay. We invite our local businesses to plan special promotions or events for that weekend."
