Red Wing Area Studio Tour

Explore the arts and the area during the free, weekend-long Red Wing Area Studio Tour on July 30 & 31, presented by the Anderson Center and Red Wing Arts. Both organizations are committed to fostering connections between artists while presenting the public with an opportunity to explore the gateway to the Driftless Region through the eyes of the many talented creatives that help shape the region’s unique culture. 

On this self-guided studio tour, visitors can see glassblowing and wheel-thrown pottery demonstrations, visit private studios overlooking the Mississippi River Valley, and experience a wide range of artistic styles and media that include painting, cast sculpture, ceramics, photography, jewelry, and textiles. Nature and wildlife photographer Deb Lee Carson will be opening her farm – an experience in itself – to visitors. “I am very excited to be a part of a talented collection of artists willing to share our intimate, creative space with our neighbors, along with the local and surrounding communities,” she says.
