Event Description

The two-day Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour, organized by the Art Gallery of Peterborough, is self-guided, self-driven, and admission is free.

 

The Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour (KAST) is a signature initiative of the Art Gallery of Peterborough and has been presented by the Gallery since 1984. As one of the longest-running studio tours in Canada, it has become a much-anticipated cultural experience in the Peterborough–Kawarthas region.
 
For one vibrant autumn weekend, participating artists open the doors to their working studios, welcoming visitors into the spaces where ideas take shape and materials transform into finished works. From painting and sculpture to ceramics, textiles, photography, and more, KAST offers a rare opportunity to experience art in the place where it is created. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply curious, the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour invites you to explore creativity up close and discover the remarkable talent rooted in our community.
 
Designed as a self-guided experience, KAST encourages visitors to create their own cultural road trip through the Peterborough-Kawarthas. Studios can be found in urban neighbourhoods, rural landscapes, and small towns alike, making the journey itself part of the experience. This free, self-guided format allows visitors to plan their own route and explore at their own pace.

 
The 2026 tour takes place September 26 & 27 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.

Venue Information - Art Gallery of Peterborough

The Art Gallery of Peterborough (AGP) was established in 1974 and opened the doors to its current facility in 1979 on the shore of Little Lake, along the Otonabee River. It is a non-profit public art gallery dedicated to exhibiting and collecting visual works of art. From its inception, the gallery established a primary goal to focus on celebrating Canadian culture, presenting contemporary visual art by artists working in the Peterborough-Kawarthas region and across the nation.

The AGP has committed to work actively with the First Nation communities of this region, to stand with them as they steward their land and culture. We honour the river named in Anishinaabemowin as the Otonabee, originally known for its rapids. As it translates into “the river that beats like a heart” so to do we strive to keep our culture alive through active discourse and engagement.
