See How the Magic Gets Made during New Bern Artists Studio Tour

New Bern Artists Studio Tour 2022

Artists from all over New Bern will open the doors to their studios and give people a glimpse of how they create their work on Nov. 5. The tour is self-guided – you can stop by as many studios as you want, and it’s completely free and family-friendly. It runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fifty artists – painters, potters, photographers, quilters, jewelers, plus those who work with glass, textiles, and wood – will have their works on display. Many will also be doing demos and showing works in progress. Rarely does the public have a chance to see behind the curtain like this and have one-to-one conversations about the artist’s process.

It’s easy to plan your route. At the website newbernartists.com, you can learn more about each artist, download a printable map, or link to the navigable Google map.

The full-color brochure is now available at many locations throughout New Bern. Pick-up locations for the brochure are listed on the website. On the day of the tour, signs will help direct visitors to each studio door.
