Discover Art. Meet the Artists. Find Something One-of-a-Kind.

Since 2009, the Lakeside Artists Studio Tour has invited art lovers, collectors, and curious visitors to discover the creativity thriving in the Lake Norman community. This annual three-day event brings together talented local and regional artists, craftspeople, and artisans, opening the doors to working studios and unique locations along the Brawley School Road peninsula in Mooresville, North Carolina.

The tour offers a special opportunity to experience art beyond the gallery walls. Meet the artists behind the work, learn about their creative processes and inspirations, and explore a diverse collection of original paintings, pottery, jewelry, woodwork, fiber art, mixed media, and handcrafted creations. Whether you're an experienced collector, searching for a distinctive piece for your home, or simply looking for an inspiring way to spend the weekend, there's something new to discover at every stop.

More Than an Art Show

What makes the Lakeside Artists Studio Tour unique is the opportunity to connect directly with the people who create the art. Each studio offers a glimpse into an artist's world, where visitors can see where ideas take shape, ask questions, and gain a deeper appreciation for the time, skill, and imagination behind each piece.

With artwork available for purchase directly from participating artists, the tour is also a wonderful way to find one-of-a-kind treasures, shop for meaningful gifts, and support the creative talent that makes our community special.

Celebrating Art in Our Community

Founded and organized by local volunteer artists, the Lakeside Artists Studio Tour reflects a shared passion for the arts and a commitment to making art accessible to everyone. By bringing artists and visitors together, the tour celebrates artistic expression, encourages connections, and supports the vibrant creative community throughout the Lake Norman region.
