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 suggests, 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 the ASTB interactive map to your phone (available at artistsstudiotoursbarbados.com) to find all pinned studio locations. Meet over 37 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 in early 2026. The exhibition will showcase one art piece from each artist, giving you a glimpse of what you might want to explore during the tours. Follow ASTB for updates on the date and 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 Artists Studio Tours weekend. Feel free to contact them anytime for a personalised visit!
They are all really looking forward to seeing YOU.
