About

“I have always been a dreamer and the pull of nature is a part of me, the dreamer. I am mesmerized by its sight, sound and texture. Most of all it’s the way the sunlight illuminates and reveals a whole other world of intricacies and patterns, that surely would have been missed, sight unseen, without its kiss. I’ve been told I see things differently than others, so I feel compelled to share what I see and feel. Nature is my muse and paint and brush are my tools. For this is the dream, I dare to dream.”

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.
