Northeast Iowa Artists' Studio Tour Oct. 9, 10, & 11, 2009
The Studio Tour is a scenic, drive-yourself tour, on curvy, hilly roads, through lush valleys and along ridge-tops, with views that go for miles. Many artists are tucked away on gravel roads. Please drive cautiously and courteously. When in doubt concerning road conditions, drive slower than you normally would and tip the car-wash guys when you get done!
The complete Tour map is available in the Tour brochure and as a download here.
The order is the suggested route designed to minimize traffic congestion on dusty gravel roads. Feel free to blaze your own trail, Directions, more detailed maps, and GPS coordinates in two versions will be available as PDF downloads nearer to the Tour: (1) detailed in the order artists are listed, and (2) general from the nearest major intersection for the adventurous traveler who wishes to strike out on their own.
