1. ARTIST REGISTRATION for the 2025 Tour will Open Oct 1st at 9am. Please note that the Artist Registration fee is used to provide a 1/5th placement in the Tour Guide that includes - artist name, email, website, facebook and instagram listings plus a small (3.5cm x 5cm) photo.

2. Here's Bowen Arts Tour 2025 is committed to introducing your works to the Community and Visitors in a new way. Our goal is to create Art Hubs in Artists Home Studios, Commercial Venues (Golf Course, Cideries, etc), Historical Buildings, Galleries, etc. We strive to have 15 to 20 hubs spread throughout Bowen, thus will limit the number of Hubs to 5-6 in the South, 5-6 in Snug Cove & 5 to 6 in the North. We will group Artists (2 - 7) per Art Studio or Hub throughout the island. Only Artists Studios that can accommodate a minimum of 2 or 3 Artists will be considered. However, if deemed necessary we will consider Hubs with only 1 artist.

3. To qualify Artist must live on Bowen Island, full or part time.

4. In January, the Art Tour committee will come to visit your studio to see if it qualifies (must have parking, safe (easy to walk) and be large enough to host 2 to 7 Artists either inside the building or in the Garden). Note: Shared access driveways must have approval from all neighbors. If you do not have a studio that fits the guidelines then we will match you with another artist studio or place you in an Artist Hub (at one of our local businesses - eg Cidery, homes that have been offered, Mid Island Halls, etc).

5. The Goal is to create a grouping of a variety of artists (Jewellery, Literary, Paintings, Textiles, Performance, Sculpture, etc) Each Art Hub/ Art Studio should plan demos & be interactive to encourage visitors to come to your Art Hub.
