About NW Art Beat

Skagit Artists, a 501(c)3 Nonprofit organization, invites artists from Washington State to join our 20th annual open studios tour, July 20 and 21, 2024. NW Art Beat is a free, self-guided tour of Skagit County art studios featuring juried artists. This event showcases the extraordinary talent of local artists and gives the public an insider view on how it all happens. Art must be shown in a working studio located in Skagit County. The artist’s studio or place used for display must be appropriate for public visitation. If you do not have a studio in Skagit County, or your studio is not appropriate for public traffic, please request to be hosted by another artist in your application. If your application is accepted and a suitable studio in which to show your work is not available all fees will be refunded. Artists are responsible for insuring their own work and space for the tour. Galleries or other rented spaces will not be accepted.
