    Welcome to the Rio Costilla Studio Tour website. We are a thriving group of twenty-five
plus artists and craftspeople living in the watershed of the Rio Costilla. Our homes are
bordered by the magnificent Sangre de Christo mountains to the east and the Rio Grande
gorge to the west at the southern edge of the beautiful San Luis Valley of Colorado and
New Mexico.

    For the past ten years we have held our annual September studio tour in which we open
our homes, studios and galleries to the public for two days of celebrating art and fine craft,
good food, friendship, and renewal through art. Our work includes painting, print-making,
photography, bronze sculpture, wood and stone carving, fine and rustic furniture, ceramics,
African drums, artisan bread-baking, and a tour of spectacular wild flower fields in full bloom.

    This year's Rio Costilla Studio Tour will be held on September 12th and 13th, 2009
from 10 - 5PM.

    We invite you to mark these dates down on your calendar, grab some friends or family, and
drive out to our little piece of paradise for a weekend of enjoyment, fellowship and
celebration of the arts.

    Meanwhile, we invite you to take a virtual tour of some of our artists and craftspeople, see
our work, follow links to individual websites, peruse a map of our area, and generally whet your
appetite for the real thing, come September.

    For more information, please call:
