Do you love art?   I've got just the ticket for you.

This weekend is your last opportunity to check out the 2012 Art Studio tour presented by Open Studios.    Every year dozens of Boulder artists open their private studios to showcase their art, technique, and work spaces.

Swing by Whole Foods, the Boulder Bookstore, or BMOCA to pick up a map (other locations, too).   For only $10, you'll have your own guided tour of local artists, neighborhoods, and private studios.    Bicycling is probably the best option to get around Boulder,  if you have the time.     The weather forecast is looking a bit damp on Saturday morning but Sunday is supposed to be the perfect autumn day.

Many different mediums are represented including ceramics, drawing and print making, fiber arts, pastels, sculpture, and oil painting.    The directory is here but you won't find the map online.    You've got to pick one up in person.    The tour is open from noon to 6pm and it's perfect for all ages.

I went on the tour (for the first time!) last weekend and it was a fantastic experience.  In addition to meeting local artists and talking about their work, you'll also have a rare opportunity to see the relationship between artist, their art, and their work spaces.    Clearly the space we choose to surround our self with has a essential impact to the way we work and the outcome of our work itself.    Something to keep in mind the next time you're considering a real estate purchase.
