Our region is rich with talented artists practicing across a range of styles and mediums. From Stoney Lake to Keene, the annual Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour offers the public a chance to view art in the working spaces of artists. This exhibit seeks to capture the outstanding quality, spirit, and variety available on this year’s tour.
These works display an eager exploration of our surroundings, a love for the region, and a talent for pushing boundaries. Playful, strong, and considered, the artists exhibited here utilize their materials to the fullest advantage and consider composition, texture, and line. Offering a wide range of mediums and processes, the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour has something for everyone. Unexpected, honest, striking, delicate, whimsical, and contemplative, this group of artists exemplifies our strong and vital community.
With many new and returning artists, this year’s tour offers a chance to connect with and support the region’s creative community. Pick your favourites and plan your route using our printed maps or the Toureka app.

Since 1984, the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour has offered visitors the opportunity to explore the working studios of artists, making it one of the longest running Studio Tours in Canada. Artists working in a range of styles and media, open up their working spaces to the public and share their artistic practice, connect with potential supporters and the community, while also promoting their work. Visitors can watch artist demonstrations, learn about different artistic practices and techniques, and get a behind-the-scenes look into the working studios of the artists of the Peterborough-Kawarthas region.
The two-day Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour is self-guided, self-driven, and admission is free.
