Join the South Kona Artist’s Collective for a self-guided art discovery tour visiting local artists in their studios along the scenic Kona coast. This year, 23 artists at 15 locations are participating in the Artists Studio Tour.

Whether you are an experienced art collector or just love being around art, this is an amazing opportunity to peek into the creative spaces of Kona’s artists, see art demonstrations and purchase local art direct from the artists.

The tour takes place over two days — 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25, and Sunday, Feb. 26 — so participants can enjoy talking with artists about their inspiration and techniques and stop at local cafes along the way for coffee and lunch. A wide range of fine art and small handcrafted gifts and cards are available for sale.

South Kona Artists Collective is a group of professional artists that includes painters, potters, photographers, assemblage sculptors, jewelers, printmakers, woodworkers, fiber and mosaic artists.
