Elora Fergus Studio Tour/ Nancy Ariss/ Mixed Media

About

Nancy Ariss is a local mixed media artist who lives and creates art in Wellington County. Camera always in hand influenced by her seeing a photo everywhere she travels in Wellington County and beyond. She is moved by everyday landscapes and the mystical elements found in mother nature. Inspiration comes from wandering near and far, utilizing her photography in many of her encaustic and mixed media art pieces. Drawn to the medium of wax, the fluidity, the unexpected, the imperfections are all elements which can be seen in the multiple layers encapsulated in the pieces which tells a visual story of a moment in time.

Organizer

Elora Fergus Studio Tour

For nearly 40 years, a dedicated and well-structured volunteer group made up of participating artists has successfully organized this annual event. At the heart of the Elora Fergus Studio Tour is a strong spirit of community collaboration. We work closely with local businesses throughout Elora and Fergus to secure sponsorships, advertising support, brochure distribution, printing, signage production, and promotional partnerships that help strengthen both the tour and the local economy. These valued relationships, combined with outreach through social media and local media outlets, allow us to promote the tour effectively and cost-efficiently each year.

A key partner in the success of the tour is the Elora Centre for the Arts, which hosts our main gallery exhibition and serves as an important cultural hub for both artists and visitors. Together with the support of local businesses and community organizations, the Elora Fergus Studio Tour has established itself as one of Canada’s premier artist studio tours, known for its professionalism, artistic excellence, and strong community connections.
