ArtEast - Art Studio Tour

ARTEAST 2025 RETURNS STRONGER WITH GROWING METRO EAST ARTIST PARTICIPATION Edwardsville, IL — After a successful relaunch in 2024, the ARTEAST Studio & Art Tour returns November 22–23, 2025, inviting the public to experience a weekend of art, creativity, and connection across Edwardsville and the surrounding metro east area. Coordinated locally by local art organizations, this free, self-guided tour invites visitors to explore artist studios, galleries, and alternative creative spaces throughout the region. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet artists, view works-in-progress, enjoy live demonstrations, and purchase original art just in time for the holiday season. “ARTEAST provides such a meaningful way for people to see not just the artwork, but the spaces where it’s created,” said Beth Browne, EAC Director. “It’s a chance to connect artists with their neighbors and shine a spotlight on the creative energy happening right here in the Metro East.” A Collaborative Regional Celebration ARTEAST is a joint initiative of the Edwardsville Arts Center, Jacoby Arts Center, Macoupin Art Collective, and other Metro East art organizations working together to celebrate the rich creative talent across the region. While each region will promote its own participating artists and locations, all events will be connected through a shared tour platform and cohesive branding. Plan Your Tour ARTEAST 2025 will take place Saturday and Sunday, November 22–23, from 12pm to 6pm each day. A digital tour map and mobile-friendly guide—developed in partnership with the Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau—will be available to help attendees plan their personalized art adventure.
