The Coldwater Studio Tour returns in its 22nd year, Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23, 2024 from 10 am to 4 pm each day. With 38 Artists and 7 locations, this art tour is the perfect day trip getaway you’ve been looking for. New this year, we are offering a Prize Draw with a Grand Prize worth $200 (open until June 15th); and a shuttle car will be running between locations each day.

The Coldwater and Area Studio Tour showcases the work of local and guest artisans and artists. We offer a diverse selection of work such as painting, jewelry, glass and metal work, photography, pottery, fibre art, and woodworking in studios, workshops and historic buildings in the lovely agricultural surroundings of Coldwater and the adjoining shores of Georgian Bay.

The Coldwater Studio Tour is one of the longest running art studio tours in Central Ontario. Entering its 22nd year in 2024, the tour now focuses on bringing people to the charming village of Coldwater, situated 20 minutes north of Barrie, 2km from Hwy 400.

With an active downtown, excellent restaurants, shopping, and sites to visit, Coldwater hosts the annual artists studio tour in both the artists’ studios, as well as locations easily within walking distance of downtown Coldwater.

View first class artwork, by artists from the area, including acrylic and oil painting, watercolours, photography, woodworking, guitar makers, wood turners, broom makers, art jewellery, textile artists and mixed media. The artists’ locations include a century grain mill, now converted to a Museum, the Coldwater Canadiana Museum, featuring an original settlers’ homestead as well as vintage machinery, tools and artifacts. The Legion Hall as well as the Coldwater Community Centre all play host to the artists. Most locations are 100% accessible.
