The Bainbridge Island Summer Studio Tour is a popular grassroots art event in local island studios and gardens and is celebrating its 13th  year in 2013. This year, there will be 46 artists in six studios and the tour expects thousands of patrons to visit the studios over the course of the three-day weekend.

Musicians will be given space in the artist’s gardens to share their gift of live music and enhance everyone’s experience of the tour. Tents, shade, and/or chairs will be provided whenever possible.

Tour organizers note that performing slots typically fill up fast and musicians should sign up as soon as possible; performers can sign up for two consecutive time slots if desired.

Sign-ups close Aug. 7.

Musicians will only be contacted if there is a question, or a need for more information.
