The Kona Palisades Artists Group hosts its eighth annual “Open Studio Tour” on Saturday and Sunday. This year the creative group consists of 14 Big Island artists living in close proximity to each other in the Kona Palisades Estates area. It is a unique opportunity when artists open their studios to the public for touring and artists’ demonstrations of their work process with an opportunity to purchase their art. For the safety of the artists and touring customers, we are requiring facial masks to be worn at all times. Hawaii mandates and CDC guidelines will be followed.
