In the meantime, more information available in the Art in the Park event listing.

Tweed & Area Studio Tour Sept. 26 & 27

In Conversation with Artists

We have started 2026 off featuring painter Gordon Wright in our ‘In Conversation with Artists’ series. Every three months the work of a featured artist is displayed in various venues throughout Tweed. The artist and venues are announced on the T&AAC website, social media (Facebook and Instagram) and in The Tweed News. At each venue a poster with a QR code takes the viewer to the T&AAC website where you can find a ‘news’ blog post and link to a video of the artist in conversation about their work and inspiration on T&AAC’s YouTube channel.
