The 8th Annual Studio tour, Sept 18-20, 2009, had 22 private artisan's studios open to the public to see demonstrations and purchase their latest works, all within 30 miles of Mountain View, Arkansas. Visit http://offthebeatenpathstudiotour.com for details of next year's tour, Sept. 17, 18 & 19, 2010, and learn about each artist participating. 18 separate videos concentrated on this year's artists individually and may be seen at my channel. A souvenir DVD is available of the project in its entirety.
In March, 2009, the Off the Beaten Path Studio Tour won the prestigious Henry Award for Community Tourism, awarded annually at the Arkansas Governor's Conference on Tourism in recognition of "an individual or organization which has achieved substantial success in the enhancement of its local resources through imaginative and innovative development efforts." This year's tour was a huge success.
Now you say that -- just in time for the tornado and the ice storm!! Thanks for the comments

Thanks Sue and Ray for putting together these videos that give just a hint of the talented artisans located in a relatively small area. I'm proud to say I know you, and so happy to live in Arkansas now. What took me so long to move here???
