An invitation…
You’re invited to step inside the private studios of painters, potters, weavers, jewelers, hat makers and more to see up-close and personal how and where art is created. Select one-of-a-kind creations directly from the artists to take home and treasure in your own home or as gifts for very special friends!!! Make plans to join us in Mountain View on September 12, 13 and 14, 2025, for the 24th Annual Off the Beaten Path Studio Tour. Visit the private working studios of local talented artists located “off the beaten path” within a 30-mile radius of the Historic Stone County Courthouse Square in Mountain View, Arkansas. This is the 24th year of this free self-guided driving tour through the scenic Ozark Mountains. This year the Off the Beaten Path Studio Tour features 32 talented artists in 24 studios.
The Off the Beaten Path Studio Tour is a grass roots event hosted by a group of working artists and community patrons with shared purpose and vision: to showcase the fine and functional artists in our community and to increase awareness and appreciation of the Arkansas Ozarks’ finest professional artists, as well as their impact on the local economy.
