The 19th annual Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour will take place throughout the weekend.  Rob Miller says this is their bigger event ever, with 48 artists taking part at 42 different locations from Stevenson to The Dalles.  Miller says it’s a chance for people to see and talk to the artists at the place where they create their art.  The tour is self-guided, with booklets featuring maps and profiles of all the artists taking part in the event, representing a wide variety of artistic mediums.  The studios will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  The map booklets are available at area art galleries and at gorgeartists.org.
