Calling all Montpelier folks - get to know your artist neighbors on October 5 & 6 by visiting them during Fall Vermont Open Studio Weekend!

This event offers a unique opportunity for you to explore the intimate spaces where artists bring their visions to life and hear the stories behind the work. Over 100 studios and exhibits will be open throughout the weekend, and local artists would love to talk to you about their tools, equipment and inspirations.

In Montpelier alone (tour loop 12), there are seven locations to explore (plus a bonus studio in Websterville). Here's who's participating near you:

Studio #94: Katie O'Rourke. Abstract landscapes that seamlessly merge with feminine figures, creating a harmonious blend of nature and form. Katie also teaches acrylic painting classes. https://www.katieorourkeart.com
