Our biggest event of the year!

For nearly 30 years, the Amesbury Cultural Council has organized a city-wide tour of working artists' studios. Each November, artists, makers, and businesses throughout Amesbury and beyond open their doors to the public for two days of creativity, shopping, food, and fun for all ages.

It’s a chance to see artists and makers in their "natural habitat" — whether that's covered in paint, knee-deep in wood shavings, or tuning up their instruments.

You never know what you’ll see…

All artists with studios in Amesbury are welcome to participate. For artists who don't have studios in Amesbury, our downtown businesses and City Hall become gracious hosts for the weekend, providing space for artists to showcase their work and set up shop.

A FREE trolley transports visitors to almost a dozen stops across town, and every year brings something different! You might catch a woodworking or glassblowing demonstration, hear live music, do some finger-painting, or find your next favorite piece of original art.
