Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour is an annual, self-guided tour of juried Columbia River Gorge artist studios. The Tour provides an opportunity for the public to meet artists at work in their studios. Artists who can show in a working studio located in the Columbia River Gorge from Cascade Locks to the Dalles and from Parkdale, Oregon to Trout Lake/Goldendale, Washington are eligible to apply. Artists may show independently or share a studio space with another GAOS artist. You may showcase art in your home if this is where you work.
