Be a Host for a Local Artist –Join the 2026 Artisan Tour on March 6,7, & 8, 2026.
This year’s Art Tour is all about celebrating community, creativity, and connection! We want to support our amazing local businesses and make the 2026 year’s event something truly special — one where everyone in town benefits.
We’re proud to be known as the friendliest town around, and this is our chance to show it! By working together, we can help our artists share their talents and help our local shops, cafés, and community spaces welcome new visitors through their doors. Let’s support each other and keep our town’s creative spirit growing strong.
Why Become a Host?
Hosting an artist is a wonderful way to get involved and connect with the community. As a business host, you’ll enjoy:
-
🖼️ New visitors and potential customers coming through your doors.
-
🗞️ Free publicity – your business will be featured on our printed flyers and on the Art Tour website as an official tour stop.
-
🥤 Opportunity to offer specials – think discounts on drinks or meals for tour-goers to make your stop even more appealing!
What’s Expected
of a Host
To ensure a great experience for both artists and visitors, host businesses must:
-
Be open from 10 AM to 4 PM during the tour dates, March 6,7,& 8, 2026
-
Have a suitable display area – either wall space for hanging art or room for at least a 6-foot table setup.
-
Provide a secure area that can be closed off after hours so artists don’t need to remove their work each day.
Note: Artists will be responsible for their own signage and display setup.
Who Can Be a Host?
We’re looking for businesses or non-business locations that complement, not compete with our artists.
Ideal hosts include:
• Cafés, restaurants, and breweries
• Assisted living facilities
• Gyms and wellness centers
• Community centers and studios

If you have space, enthusiasm, and a love for local art — you’re perfect for this!
