The Camelback Studio Tour and Art Sale returns for an eighth year this November with artist studio tours on the 4th, 5th and 6th of the month.
The tours will happen daily over the three days from 10:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. in the Sherwood Heights neighborhood located between Thomas Road and Oak Street on the north and south borders and 54th Street and 60th Street on the east and west sides of the neighborhood. The Camelback Studio Tour and Art Sale kick off the holiday shopping season with special works of art available for sale that make excellent gifts.
25 local artists in six different home studios will be showcased during this art sale and free, self-guided tour. Attendees are encouraged to start at any of the six studios listed below and enjoy the experience as a walking, driving or biking tour.
Local artists Vickie Morrow and Lynn Gustafson, both residents of the neighborhood where the Camelback Studio Tour and Art Sale take place, host the tour as part of the South Scottsdale Art Alliance.
“Over the past eight years we have watched our studio tour grow by attracting even more local artists and this year is no exception. The artwork is incredible and the homes are a combination of mid-century design, many with renovations and several have simply stunning views. It makes for a very memorable experience for all of our shoppers,” said Morrow.
