DAYS & HOURS OF OPERATION (SUMMER/WINTER)  Third weekend in August.  August 19-20, 2023,  10:00am -4:00pm.

 TYPE OF BUSINESS  Studio Art Tours open to the public

The Herbster Studio Art Tour (HSAT) has been a Herbster community event since 2009 in which artists who have working studios in Herbster open them up for the public on the third weekend of August. In 2023, the dates are August 19-20. Over these past 14 years, the mission of the tour has been the same: To (1) promote the creative arts within Herbster/Town of Clover and to (2) encourage relationships within the artist community and between artists and the broader community.  Herbster artists who have their working studios in Herbster open their studios to the public. Visitors visit the studios casually at their own pace, view the art work in the studios that they wish to see, ask questions of the artists about their work, and often purchase art work if they so choose. The purpose and mission, however, is not so much to sell art work, but Herbster artists who have their working studios in Herbster open their studios to the public. Visitors visit the studios casually at their own pace, view the art work in the studios that they wish to see, ask questions of the artists about their work, and often purchase art work if they so choose. The spark behind this mission has always been simply to raise the awareness of and appreciation for quality art in the south shore area. Each of the artists represent different visual art mediums, such as painting, quilting, jewelry, fiber sculpture, weaving, wood turning, mixed media and printmaking.

In 2022, an educational component was added following the tour during September in which the studio artists conducted lectures, demos, and workshops on their creative artistic process.
