AAI Artists Darcy Gerdes, Carol Mills and others will open their studios for the tour.
Gerdes offers the following quote as a good representation of what a studio means to an artist:"The Studio, a room to which the artist consigns himself for life, is naturally important, not only as a workplace, but as a source of inspiration. And it usually manages, one way or another, to turn up in his product." - Grace Clueck
While on the studio tour, be sure to see Idyllwild Jewelry Artist Emma Showalter's one-of-a-kind beaded necklaces in the Idyllwild Gallery Of Fine Art's Studio, located at 25675 Doubletree Drive. Showalter became entranced with beading when she visited her grandmother and discovered her bead collection. Gathering inspiration from global influences and nature’s beauty, the artist has evolved into an original designer and creator of exquisite beaded works.The Art Alliance of Idyllwild is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization designed to promote local artists and galleries while providing art education.
