“We live here, we create here,” is the motto at the bottom of the Llano Art Studio Tour website, and no truer words have been spoken it seems, as for another year organizers prepare to showcase to tour-takers what a great place Llano is in which to live and create. Sponsored by the Llano Fine Arts Guild the tour provides those in attendance the opportunity to get a close-up view of the artists in their own workspaces, honing their craft, and working with their chosen mediums, this year taking place on March 25.

This year’s event features 15 artists, all of whom are identified on the event’s Facebook page, including painting/acrylics through the Ira Kennedy Home Studio, fused glass through Sheri Zoch’s The Glass Menagerie, handcrafted wood products and gourd art through the Newell home studio (J Craft Company), and so many more wonderful mediums including watercolors, sculpture, jewelry, and even furniture.

The tour’s intent is not to develop sales as much as it provides a positive interaction between the community and the artists, so no pressures to purchase will take place during the tour. And the intent of holding the event on the last weekend of March is to reflect the resurgence of springtime, in both art and life, as the bluebonnets which the Llano area is synonymous with will be making a strong appearance.

Admission to the tour is free, and maps are available at the various merchants throughout town, the Llano Visitor Center, and at participating studios. Taking place annually on the last Saturday in March, the tour allows visitors entry to many studios which are not normally open to the public and scheduled as well as non-scheduled demonstrations will take place in the various mediums with which the artists create. The Llano Art Studio Tour welcomes you to the Texas Hill Country to be inspired by art as well as the artists that make Llano, Texas their home.
