What is a
Studio Tour?
The Stouffville Studio Tour is a weekend event that happens
every October on the weekend after Thanksgiving. Local
artists open their homes and studios for the public to view
their artistic creations. We have 25 locations to view the
36 artists on the tour this year.
How do I know who’s on the Tour, and find
all the locations?
 We provide you with a map. Maps, that is. Actually, there
are more ways to find us than ever before! We print a brochure,
which is mailed out to those on our mailing list and distributed
to stores and community centers throughout the GTA. It is also
available in September at our sponsoring locations. That
brochure has the official map with information on all the
artists and their locations. Also (new this year!) each artist
is now linked to Google Maps, so you are sure to find that
artist! To view this, please see the individual artists’ profile
in the Artists section. Use that map to find the first location
you wish to visit. Once there, you have the option of following
the tour brochure map to any of the other locations you wish to
see. Pick a handful of artists to see over the two days, or if
you're really ambitious, try to see them all. Don’t worry too
much if you’re not tech-saavy, there will also be clear signage
on the streets indicating the directions and the locations.

hat is this Free Draw all about?
 FREE DRAW
The FREE DRAW is for a $200 certificate to be redeemed towards
the purchase of any active tour artist's work. You may fill out
1 ballot per location per person. With 21 locations, this improves your
odds considerably if you try to see them all!
The draw takes place each year on October
31st and the winner will be contacted by phone. The Certificate
is good for one year (the next Stouffville Studio Tour) and is
not redeemable for cash.
How do I get to Stouffville, Ontario
Canada?
As the tour gets more widely known and more popular, we have
people coming from farther and farther afield. For those
of you from outside of driving distance, a plane ride to
Toronto's Pearson International Airport is a good start to your
journey…
Seriously though. If you’re driving from Toronto, take
Hwy. 401 to Hwy. 404 north. Exit at Stouffville Rd. and
head east. The trip from Toronto averages about an hour,
depending on where in the city you start from. The core of
Stouffville is approximately 10 to 15 minutes from the 404.
Stouffville Rd. eventually becomes Main St., Stouffville at Hwy.
48. (Western edge of town.) Once in town you should be able to
find a location by spotting our directional signs on the side of
the road. If you don’t yet have a map, just pick one up at one
of our sponsors along Main St.
We also have GO transit service to our
beautiful town. Service is limited to GO Buses as trains do not
run on weekends. It’s a pleasant, comfortable ride from
Toronto’s Union Station. Click Here for the GO Transit schedule.
