"This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from Lake Region Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund."

FEE: Free - the Public is Welcome!

Evansville artists put “Four Points of Light” on the map, and open their studios to the public on June 20 and 21, 10am -5pm.

The public is invited to the studios of four Evansville artists this month. 
The four accomplished artists, working from three studios within just a few minutes of each other, will concurrently open their studios on the weekend of June 20 and 21.  Open Studio hours will be from 10 am to 5 pm each day.  As one might expect, with four unique artists visitors will find a variety of visual art. 

Calvin deRuyter paints landscapes and abstracts that appeal to two different audiences.   Sometimes he is accused of painting two different paintings on the same sheet of paper – but in reality, he is painting his truth, the ying-yang that is deRuyter. 

Lyssa Lovejoy is a painter who explores diverse art forms, in series of images that share a story-telling theme.  Regardless of the medium or subject, Lyssa’s ultimate goal is to allow each piece to tell its own story.

Jackie Henning taps into her extensive background in both photography and faux finishing to create intricate mixed media images.  Jackie’s works incorporate elements of photography, painting, found objects and created textural elements.

Stephen Henning is a landscape painter working in both traditional and experimental impressionist styles. Inspired by Nature, he strives to create soothing  images that take viewers far from the madding crowd.

25th Anniversary
​July 18-20, 2025    Fri & Sat: 10-5, Sun 10-3

Art of the Lakes is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its annual Studio Tour, and we invite you to be part of the fun!

The Studio Tour is a scenic, drive-yourself art crawl through beautiful countryside with hills, lakes, prairie and small towns.

Many of the studios are tucked away on rural roads scattered throughout Otter Tail and Douglas counties in West-Central Minnesota. Bright yellow signs and a map help guide you to each studio.

For your added enjoyment, many artists provide demonstrations and other events during the tour. Please note that not all studios are open on Sunday.

Artists in this region abound, and are among the most creative anywhere. Art of the Lakes is delighted to feature their talents in this up-close, immersive travel and collecting experience!

One of the largest rural art crawls
​             in the Midwest!

Look for these signs!
