Holiday Arts Tour 2009
Join us November 6-8, 2009 for the North Central Louisiana Arts Council annual Holiday Arts Tour. During this weekend you will meet some of the most talented artists and musicians in the region. You will have the opportunity not only to meet many of our local artists but to also tour many of their studios. This is a unique opportunity to see where and how they create their work. Our remaining artists have elected to display their work in historic downtown Ruston locations.
The weekend will kick off on Friday evening with the Art Crawl, followed by a full-day tour on Saturday and Sunday. If you are from out of town, we recommend making this a get-away weekend. We have many new and newly remodeled hotels in town as well as some lovely Bed & Breakfast spots.
