Arts in Bloom Studio and Gallery Tour
This event takes place across two days:
Saturday 10am - 4pm
Sunday Noon - 4pm
Lee O'Connell is one of many artists opening their studios to the public. You can find the other studios at www.artsinbloom.org.
Arts in Bloom offers visitors a unique opportunity to step inside working studios, meet artists in person, and gain insight into their creative processes. Participants for 2026 include a wide array of established and emerging creatives. From glass and ceramics to painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, the tour highlights a diverse range of artistic disciplines that define the Southern Finger Lakes’ dynamic arts scene.
Each artist and gallery opens their creative space to share their work, techniques, and inspiration, creating an immersive and personal arts experience for visitors. Galleries will feature live demos by regional artists they represent.
Arts in Bloom is an annual open studio tour dedicated to promoting local artists and strengthening community engagement with the arts across Chemung and Steuben Counties. By opening studio doors to the public, the event fosters appreciation for the creative process and supports the region’s thriving arts community.
“Arts in Bloom is about connection—between artists, collectors, and the broader community,” said event organizers. “It’s a chance to experience art where it is created and to support local arts in a meaningful way. It’s a perfect way to simply enjoy art or to find unique gifts.”
