We have a special treat for you this year!

We realize it can be tough to see all 19 venues in one weekend - so much wonderful creativity to explore! So we’ve asked all of our smaller venues - with one to three artists - to open for a few hours on Friday, May 3rd from 5 - 8 PM.

That means 9 of our 19 venues will open their doors one day early - in addition to the weekend - on May 3rd, for you to check out the artworks and visit with the artists in their smaller and more intimate settings. Each one is a home or private studio that is showing the work of one to three artists.

Each of these select venues will have a special offer for you:

  • Each of these venues will allow you to signup for a drawing - specific to that venue - for a chance to win a piece of their own special creativity, perhaps a print of one of their works! This drawing is only available at these venues but it’s throughout the whole weekend.

  • When you visit any of our 19 venues, you can signup to win our Grand Prize, a beautiful original painting created by our TVAST director, Linda Ryan. She has specialized for years in a medium called Acrylic Pouring and mastered the application of this pouring medium to created beautiful works. You can take home the piece below titled: Becoming Eve

Communion - 18 x 24 in Acrylic Pour by Linda Ryan

Below are the Private studios open on Friday May 3 from 5-8 PM

You can locate each of these artists in our Map, Gallery and Catalog Pages.

Note: Sabin Filip will not be able to participate in TVAST this year due to a work conflict. He sends his regrets.
