Artists in Ottawa West invite you to their studio tour on the weekends of Sept. 17 - 18 and  24 - 25 : 2011  from 10-5pm.  Aptly W.E.S.T  (West End Studio Tour) is a pleasant walking, biking or driving tour of studios and artist's homes located in the West end of Ottawa.

WEST is a free tour organized annually by the artists themselves.

This juried tour has evolved into a dynamic group of 20 artists who annually warmly invite the public to experience their latest creations.

Come meet us in our own environment.  It is a rare opportunity for art lovers to leave the quiet of the gallery and see the places that art is actually made -- they might be surprised to discover the creativity happening in their own backyards.

Pick up a tour map at the tour base, Wall Space Gallery in the heart of Westboro, or at businesses throughout the west end, art stores and libraries across Ottawa.

The Artists in this year's tour are: Derek Aylen, Alice Hinther, Wendy Feldberg, Shlomo Feldberg, Lynette Chubb, Alison Fowler, Deidre Hierlihy, David W. Jones, Garrie Bea Joyce, Andrew King, Lindsay Watson, Manju Sah, Barb Sohn, Edwina Sutherland, Jeff Wiebe, Paula Mitas Zoubek, Rob Huntley, Paul Wing, Janet Bell and Choleena DiTullio.
