Philomath Open Studios Tour
Saturday, October 18, 2025 -- Sunday, October 26, 2025, 1200 - 1700
2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the Philomath Open Studios Tour. For twenty years, artists in and around Philomath have opened their studios to the public to share their inspirations, processes, and works of art. This year the tour includes 36 artists in 13 locations. Studios and other display venues will be open from 12:00 to 5:00 on four days, the last two weekends of October, 18-19 and 25-26. The tour is free, and visitors can create their own tour by starting at any studio. Distinctive yellow signs with the POST hand logo mark venue locations. The tour provides an opportunity to visit with the artists and learn how they make their art and what inspires them.
Visit PhilomathOpenStudios.com for a map with studio locations and artist information. The website also contains profiles of participating artists, with statements and multiple images of their work. Brochures featuring a map and artist data and images will be available at the Arts Center in Corvallis, the Benton County Museum, and other galleries and locations throughout the area.
A special exhibition celebrating 20 years of art by POST artists will be held in the Giustina Gallery at the LaSells Stewart Center at OSU from September 1-October 20. On view will be work from artists taking part in the current tour as well as past tours over the years.
An exhibition of work from current POST artists and posters from each of the past 20 years of shows can be viewed at the Benton County Museum from October 6 through January 2026.
POST started when Carolee Clark came up with the idea of have an open studios tour in Philomath after she did the Yamhill County Open Studios Tour. She felt that if it could be successful in Yamhill County, it could be successful in Philomath. So, she, Signe Davis and Donna Beverly took that idea to Suzanne Cutsforth and Suzanne Byram at Wild Rose Gallery. They thought it was a great idea and that was the beginning!
As in the past, artists new to the tour will be joining with more familiar faces to provide a colorful array of artistic media. This year you will find ceramics, fabric painting, glass, jewelry, metalworking, mixed media collage, painting in many media, pastel drawing, pen and ink, photography, printmaking, and woodwork. There is something for everyone’s interest, whether art lover, collector, or curious browser. All work exhibited will be for sale. Artists participating include: Jenny Armitage, Rebecca Arthur, Maria Bellando, Afon Blinov, Phil Coleman, Dale Donovan, Jess Felix, Deb Friedlander, Deb Garley, Anthony Gordon, Leslie Green, Jeff Gunn, Linda Herd, Erin, Nick, Sue, and Bruce Heys, Carol Houk, Ann Lahr, Jean Lawrence, Marilyn Lindsley, Courtney Marchesi, Emma Marliave, Kris Mitchell, Greg Nicol, Ken Pate, Judith Sander, Melissa Saylor, Merrill Sommers, Pat Spark, Debby Sundbaum-Sommers, Mark Svendsen, Leslie
Tejada, Steve Terhune, Sandra Wilson and Vicki Wilson.
