As part of the two day weekend — from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30, and Sunday, Aug. 31 — participants can:

— Meet the artists. Step inside working studios and chat with painters, potters, illustrators, and mixed media creators about their inspirations, techniques, and creative journeys.

— Explore the art. Discover an eclectic mix of original works, from fine paintings and ceramics to innovative mixed media pieces — each with its own story.

— Enjoy the scenery. Travel through the picturesque landscapes of Chautauqua County while uncovering hidden gems in our vibrant arts community.
