VIROQUA, Wis. – Join us June 13 and 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of this grass roots art experience.  This year marks several new milestones for the tour. 

Winding Roads Art Tour is pleased to announce that the tour will now operate as an independently managed event under Fourthstream, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to building community through live music and the arts. The Winding Roads Art Tour will continue to be guided by its own leadership and vision, while benefiting from shared resources and expanded opportunities for collaboration and ensure a strong future for the event.

The tour is also pleased to share that this year marks the introduction of first-time experiences for attendees, including workshops, an exhibit space and Friday night pizza at Sittin Pretty Farm, to kick off the tour. 

Enjoy a weekend of creativity and inspiration on this self-guided tour through the beauty of the Driftless landscape.  As you wind your way through the springtime rolling hills you will discover a diversity of artistic expression, meeting artists in their homes and creative workplaces along the way.  Take this opportunity to view and purchase artwork and participate in local workshops while  gaining an understanding of the people, process and story behind its creation.
