The Naples Open Studio Trail, a free two-day event where guests can take a self-guided art tour of various studios along Canandaigua Lake, returns this weekend, Oct. 4 and Oct. 5.
For the Naples Open Studio Trail’s 24th year, 18 artists will welcome the public into their art studios, galleries and even their homes to view, purchase and learn about their art. The 2025 Studio Trail event will consist of 13 different locations along the lake, including Bristol, Naples, Prattsburgh, Middlesex and Branchport.
The self-guided tour will take guests along scenic routes throughout the Finger Lakes Region, just in time to view the beautiful fall foliage.
New and returning artists, like Paul Wilsea, Carol Obrien and Tom Glynn, will give the public an inside look into their creative processes, their artwork and some may hold artistic demonstrations, according to the Naples Open Studio Trail.
This year’s art includes paintings, sculptures, glass work, woodworking, pottery, furniture, ceramics, jewelry and more. All studios will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 4 and Oct. 5.
The event is free and open to the public. Any art purchases can be made directly through the individual artists along the trail.
