CAA MEMBER BENEFITS
We work hard to get our efforts noticed by the media and are so proud when this goal comes to fruition. A well informed community is an empowered one as well, and the annual Camano Island Studio Tour, is all about empowering and supporting our local artists and economy. That's only one of the amazing member benefits of Camano Arts Association.

CAMANO ISLAND STUDIO TOUR
We are incredibly grateful to our visitors who have helped to make the Studio Tour one of the most popular artist events in our region. We also are grateful to the many members of our community who have invested their time, talent and treasure into turning a vision for an arts community into the reality of the Tour today.
To the hundreds of artists, as well as galleries, who have opened their doors to the public to engage and delight visitors since 1999 – thank you for sharing your love of art and for our community.
To the many area businesses and residents who have warmly welcomed the guests who have traveled to our island over the years for this event, we couldn’t have done it without you.
Finally, we are humbled by the countless art lovers and patrons who have visited our studios and purchased our art. It is exciting to imagine, all the homes that are enriched, with the many thousands of pieces of locally created works, acquired for more than 20 years. Art lives on Camano Island!
