There is an artist community in Cave Creek, a town north of Phoenix nestled into the desert wrapping around Black Mountain.
Every year they host a self-guided open studio tour with over 100 working artists participating. You can meet the artists, see their work and a little bit of their space, ask questions, buy art.
If you’re in the Phoenix area, check out the Hidden in the Hills tour this Friday through Sunday (11/28-30)!

So cool — both for people to go an appreciate, but also for the artist themselves to group and probably draw support from one another.
I think so! I also think they enjoy discussing their work face-to-face with the public after many hours of working on something solo.
