October 1-3, 2010 area artists are opening up their studios and joining forces with local art venues and museums to offer an unprecedented cultural driving tour in the Brazos Valley. Over twenty five sites will be offered in October for art students, art lovers and collectors to experience the quality and diversity of art and culture in the Brazos Valley. 

Imagine taking your family or friends to a real potter’s workshop, and seeing a potter throw on the potter’s wheel, or a painter working in his own studio, or a sculptor fashioning a life-sized equestrian monument. And on the same day visiting our regional museums and art galleries who will be participating with related exhibits. And then topping it off by stopping at a nearby chocolate store for an especially artful treat. 

Highlights include The Art Step, an art walk in downtown Bryan Friday evening and Brazos Valley Natural History Museum’s annual Booneville Days on Saturday.

Maps with information about each stop will be provided at each site as well as on the website. There will be door prizes and other offers to make the tours fun and inspiring.
