A highlight of the year for many local artists is returning to Chatham-Kent.

The second annual Art Studio Tour will encourage art lovers to visit five galleries featuring 28 artists and their original works of art. Organized by the Chatham-Kent Arts and Culture Network, the free self-guided tour will take place on September 28-29.

Those taking the tour will be able to meet the artists, learn about their processes and artistic visions, and purchase the artworks on display.

Brochures with tour locations and details can be picked up at Art and Heirloom Shoppe at 137 King St. W in Chatham or The Studio Gallery at 159 Brown St. in Dresden. More information about the Art Studio Tour can also be found by clicking here.
