Art Trek 2018

To see an artist at work and in their milieu is indeed a treat, an educational, sensory and social delight. And, it’s an opportunity that comes around in early fall each year with Art Trek, organized by Upstairs Artspace, Tryon’s contemporary art gallery. Now in its 10th year, the free, self-directed, self-driving studio tour has become a must see, must do event on the local arts calendar. This year’s tour is slated for Sept. 29-30. Organizers are planning for more than 30 artists to participate. Geographically, Art Trek encompasses all of Polk County and the Landrum, S.C., area.
