After a year off due to the pandemic, the 8th Annual 2021 SBR ARTwalk open-studio tour was held on two days for the first time, on Oct. 23 and 24. It gave the SaddleBrooke Ranch residents more time to visit the more than 51 artists in 35 homes and more than 50 artists selling in the Creative Arts and Technology Center. The quality of the art crafted by our SaddleBrooke Ranch artists was even better this year. After a year of quarantine, artists were brimming with their work.
Residents could stroll or cart or drive to the various artists’ studios or spaces and visit the Creative Arts and Technology Center displays and open studios. It was a great time to purchase those special holiday gifts or to fill the open spaces on new residents’ walls.
If residents were not able to attend the SBR ARTwalk, many artists may still have some items to purchase or you could custom order.
