Our History

In the Summer of 2006, several established Mount Horeb artists gathered to discuss the prospects for creating a Tour event. Interest grew and a new arts organization, the Mount Horeb Area Arts Association, was formed and incorporated in February of 2007.
By word of mouth the list of interested artists grew and the Spring Art Tour, an annual open studios event, was created and launched in June of 2007. This event combines the work of professional artists against the backdrop of the Driftless region of western Dane County. The inaugural launching of the Tour was a huge success and enthusiasm for the event continues to grow.
