42nd Annual KAST Selections Exhibition
July 11, 2026 - October 4, 2026
Location: Art Gallery of Peterborough
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. Masterful, 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.

The Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour (KAST) is a signature initiative of the Art Gallery of Peterborough and has been presented by the Gallery since 1984. As one of the longest-running studio tours in Canada, it has become a much-anticipated cultural experience in the Peterborough–Kawarthas region.
The 2026 tour takes place September 26 & 27 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. This free, self-guided event allows visitors to plan their own route and explore at their own pace.
