The Alliance for the Arts’ array of concerts, exhibitions, and classes has become a staple for the aesthetically inclined since the institution’s founding in 1975. This year sees its first-ever self-guided tour, which grants one-on-one time with area artists in their natural habitats. Wanderers meet at 9 a.m. at the Margaret Morrow Frizzell Amphitheater on the Alliance’s riverside campus to dine on a complimentary breakfast and peruse a pamphlet covering the homes and studios encompassed by the tour. From 11 a.m. to as late as 4 p.m., participants set their own pace as they flutter about town from one workshop to the next, chatting with creators about upcoming projects or asking to see their muse-catching nets.

In his workspace, photographer and artist Chris Catti guides guests through his process of combining painting and image transfers. Farther along, Krista Johnson reveals what inspires her primitive-style paintings, and Byron M. Wood demonstrates the skill required to work with and see through metal. After sating their curiosity, explorers find their way to Unit A Contemporary Art Space for a tasting of wine and hors d’oeuvres. As they socialize, they can study the new studio of one of the nation’s foremost modern urban-expressionists, Marcus Jansen.
