BOULDER COUNTY he Open Studios Tour is a free self-guided tour that invites the public into 147 artist studios in and around the City of Boulder. Several artists in the Boulder County foothills off Magnolia Road, Sugarloaf Road and Sunshine Canyon Dr. also take part. Everyone is invited, Oct. 6-7, 13-14 and 20-21, noon - 6 p.m., to enjoy the spaces where artists create, learn a bit about their creative process and support the local creative community by purchasing art directly from the artist. A free Preview Exhibit at Museum of Boulder, 2205 Broadway runs through Oct. 21. A Preview Exhibit Reception, Oct. 5, 6 p.m.9 p.m., includes a piece from each participating artist, bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres and tour catalogs. A $15 donation is suggested. For 23 years, Open Studios has operated with a simple goal: connect artists with people who love art. For the first three weekends in October, the tour opens the doors of artists studios in our community, so they may share their process and work. Explore and find artist studios by browsing the website, where there are maps and each artist is listed under several categories in the artist directory; by media, area, alphabetically and more. Printable maps can also be found on the website. A printed catalog, that is also accessible online, is available at select Boulder, Longmont and Denver locations. There are seven studios to explore in the foothills west of Boulder: Leah and Scott DeCapio, studio 7, are a husband and wife team of ceramic artists. Their one-of-a-kind pieces of ceramic art are handmade on a potter’s wheel or by hand by Scott, then Leah paints the entire piece black and carves the designs into the clay. Their studio, open 10/6-7 and 13-14, is
