Whatever the reason, the Saanich Peninsula has the power to inspire, and that inspiration will be on full display as the ArtSea Studio Tour once again showcases the creative expression found in the community. “It’s a chance to connect with the artists and it really gives you a great appreciation of these talented individuals,” said Wendy Picken, the volunteer lead of the Art Sea Studio Tour. The ArtSea Studio Tour is more than an art show, of course. “There’s no question that the Saanich Peninsula has a rich artistic character,” said Picken. The ArtSea Studio Tour will take place on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 4 and 5, 2025, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.
