The Kissing Bridge Art tour Submission deadline for the 2023 Tour is now closed.
Any submission made now will be put on the list of consideration for the 2024 tour.
Thanks to all who applied as we have close to 50 artists to showcase this October.
The Kissing Bridge Art Tour provides an excellent opportunity for local artists and artisans to showcase and sell their work from their studios which are otherwise not regularly open to the public. The tour is open to artists with studios in and around Woolwich Township and the rural area of the Kissing Bridge Trail. Guest artists are welcome but must also apply. All work must be original, created by the artist, including but not limited to the following: painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, pottery, blown glass, carving, fibre art, printmaking, collage, stained glass, fibre art and jewellery.
