The 2019 Art Gallery House Tour was, in a word, magical. Four generous homeowners and an arts-loving Lieutenant-Governor, eleven inspiring local artists, enthusiastic community support, and 150+ volunteers to guide and engage our guests.

More than 170 volunteers worked as a team to make certain the tour runs efficiently. They selected homes, greeted guests, monitored houses during the tour, prepared marketing materials, sold tickets and sponsorships, selected artists and floral arrangers, handled traffic control and security and planned a post-tour reception to thank homeowners for another successful tour.
