CAMANO ISLAND, Wash., April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 1997, artists on Camano Island and Stanwood have invited the public into their studios and galleries. The Camano Studio Tour has since become the biggest tourist event on the Island and has attributed to a growing artist community with nearly 100 members in the Camano Arts Association.
Like every other arts event in 2020, the tour was forced to cancel last year due to health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It was painful to cancel last year but we all knew it was the right thing to do," explained Mary Simmons, a glass artist and this year's Tour director. "The Tour is more than an event for us – it's an opportunity to share the unique community that has formed here as artists from across the region have made the island their home. As we started to think about 2021, we knew we wanted to try to create a responsible, safe event that allowed us to continue that tradition for the artists who rely on the tour every year and for the visitors who have become an extension of our community."
