Monadnock Art/Friends of the Dublin Art Colony presents its 27th annual Open Studio Tour Oct. 7 to 9, with 81 artists in 65 studios.

The tour includes the Preview Exhibition running through Oct. 28, at the Monadnock Center for History and Culture in Peterborough. The exhibition includes a special emerging artists section, featuring the fresh work of individuals launching new art careers.

The  Open Studio Tour is the Monadnock region’s oldest – and New Hampshire’s largest – art tour, held each October. Art-lovers can follow the tour map and signage to discover the places where artists work. The tour winds through the towns surrounding Mount Monadnock: Dublin, Hancock, Harrisville, Jaffrey, Marlborough, Peterborough and Sharon. Visitors can see the workplaces of painters, printmakers, potters, jewelers, sculptors, fiber artists, photographers, woodworkers, glass artists and more.

The tour is self-directed and free, with artist studios open 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. during the tour. Printed brochures and maps are available in stores, restaurants and galleries throughout the region, and at the Monadnock Center for History and Culture at 19 Grove St. in Peterborough. Maps and further information on the tour, along with images of work by member artists, can be found at monadnockart.org.

Monadnock Art/Friends of the Dublin Art Colony is a nonprofit organization with a mission of  celebrating and supporting artists and amplifying the artistic talent and creative diversity of the Monadnock region through special events, online presence and community engagement, originating with the artists who gathered in and near Dublin at the turn of the 19th century to the hundreds of artists who live and work throughout the region today.
