CALLING GREENWOOD VILLAGE ARTISTS FOR STUDIO TOUR<br />
In 2014, a group of artists located in rural <strong>Greenwood</strong><br />
<strong>Village</strong> joined forces to begin what is now known as the<br />
Women of Steele Studio Tour. These women had been<br />
surprised to learn that between them they had four active art<br />
studios within a few hundred yards of each other. The<br />
circumstances were ideal for an event that would celebrate<br />
these artists’ work and workspaces. Thus began their annual<br />
tradition of opening their art studios to the public for a day.<br />
Now in its sixth year, the studio tour has become a muchanticipated<br />
event with golf cart rides on dirt roads and guest<br />
artists. Today that tradition has grown to encompass more<br />
neighborhoods and more artists.<br />
The City of <strong>Greenwood</strong> <strong>Village</strong>’s Cultural Arts Program is<br />
seeking artists residing in <strong>Greenwood</strong> <strong>Village</strong> to participate<br />
in the <strong>Greenwood</strong> <strong>Village</strong> Studio Tour on Saturday and<br />
Sunday, September 11 and 12, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Accepted<br />
artists will have the choice of opening their home/studio to<br />
the public as part of the tour or to show their work at “Art<br />
on the Green,” an art festival setting that will take place in<br />
Curtis Park on the same dates.<br />
Interested artists must meet the following criteria. Artwork<br />
must be original and completed within the last five years.<br />
Work done by a production studio or mass-produced items<br />
are not acceptable. All work must be designed and executed<br />
by the accepted artist. All work exhibited must be of the<br />
quality, category, and body of work of that has been<br />
presented. Artwork produced with commercially acquired<br />

or other commercial methods will not be permitted.<br />
Accepted media categories include: ceramics, digital art,<br />
