MKE Studio Tour

Wisconsin Craft
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
October 3–4, 2026

The MKE Studio Tour invites the public to discover Milwaukee’s vibrant craft community during a free, self-guided weekend tour of artist studios and creative spaces throughout Milwaukee County.

Now in its eighth year, the MKE Studio Tour offers a unique opportunity to step inside the places where local artists create. Meet talented makers, see where their ideas take shape, learn about their creative processes, and shop directly from the artists who make the work. From ceramics and jewelry to painting, fiber, wood, mixed media and more, each stop offers something different to explore.

With 45 participating artists across 16 tour stops, visitors can create their own itinerary and experience the tour at their own pace. Studios range from individual home studios to shared creative spaces and host locations, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the diverse ways artists bring their work to life.

Throughout the weekend, select artists may offer demonstrations or special activities as their schedules allow. Visitors are encouraged to check the MKE Studio Tour website for the latest information and updates.

Whether you collect handmade art, enjoy meeting artists, are looking for something truly one-of-a-kind, or simply want to explore Milwaukee’s creative community, the MKE Studio Tour is an opportunity to connect with the people, places, and stories behind the work.
