Studio Hop 2026
Friday, June 12th from 4pm to 9pm
Saturday, June 13th from 10am to 5pm
at Studio Locations in Willmar, Spicer, New London, and Svea at DEMO Inc.

Studio Hop is a community-centered event that invites you to explore the creative spaces of local artists and experience art in a personal and meaningful way. During this self-guided tour, artists open their studios to the public, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how their work is created—from painting and pottery to photography, fiber arts, and more.

In addition to private studios, some stops take place in local businesses that partner with artists to host their work. These locations create even more opportunities to discover art throughout the community while supporting the businesses that help make this event possible.

Visitors are encouraged to travel from stop to stop at their own pace, meeting artists, asking questions, and learning about the inspiration and techniques behind each piece.

More than just an art tour, Studio Hop is about connection. It’s a chance to support local artists, engage with local businesses, discover new creative voices, and build a stronger, more vibrant arts community. Whether you’re a dedicated art lover or simply looking for something new to do, Studio Hop offers a welcoming and engaging experience for all ages.

Enjoy a Tasty Treat! Many studios offer refreshments. Register to Win Prizes! Pick up a punch card at your first studio visit.
