Call to Washington County Artisans and Artists: Annual Artisan Trails July 13 & 14

WASHINGTON COUNTY — Artists and artisans are invited to participate in a weekend celebrating the talent in Washington County.

New this year, “hubs,” such as breweries, galleries, shops, etc. will host multiple artisans and artists at their location on the open studios tour, along with live demonstrations, plein aire painting and workshops.
