The Helena Public Art Committee (HPAC) hosted its first annual Open Studios Tour of working artist studios in the Helena area in 2009. The Tour gives the public a wonderful opportunity to visit artists working in a variety of mediums in their studios.  Visitors can talk with the artists, learn more about the creative process of art, and have the option of purchasing art directly from the artists.
