Since 2020, a growing group of local artists have come together annually to open their studios to visitors for the weekend. From acrylic painters to potters, sculptors to woodcarvers (and a rainbow of creative individuals in between!), Barbados has a diverse art community with wonderful work to showcase and celebrate.
Despite what the name says, there is no organised bus tour. YOU – whether a local, a visitor, a student, or an art collector – venture out, either by yourself or with family and friends, hunting for artists’ studios and exploring Barbados in the process. Download their ASTB interactive map to your phone (found on their website artistsstudiotoursbarbados.com), which identifies the locations of those pinned art studios. Meet over 36 featured artists in 16 studios. Learn about their techniques and gain a new appreciation for the diversity of art in Barbados. In 2025 they had 3,750 visits to their studios!
As always, the tour is a FREE event and all are welcome!
Preview the art at the Sneak Peek Show
And to complement the tours there is the Sneak Peek Show running from February 14th to 20th 2026. The exhibition will showcase a piece of work from each artist. You can see which artists’ studios you might like to visit on the tours. Follow them for updates on the location!
Visit the artists all year round
Remember to bookmark their brochure for all year round. The artists are always working, not just at the two Artists Studio Tours weekends. Feel free to contact them anytime for a personalised visit!
