On September 24-25, four friends of Artspace will open their homes to share the stories behind their private art collections. The tours offer a rare chance to see highly idiosyncratic collections in our region and promote the practice and understanding of art collecting. They also set the stage for studio visits during Artspace’s 19th CWOS festival, October 7-November 11, 2016.
Each tour accommodates 16 people and lasts 90 minutes. Light refreshments will be served.
