Art Collector & Artist Studio House Tour 2026
“I loved the diverse, unique collections worked into living spaces in interesting ways. I embraced the chance to see work and artists that were new to me. It was really great having homeowners and artists talking about the art.”
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, art lovers and curious explorers will have the rare opportunity to step inside 5+ private homes and artist spaces in Berwyn for an intimate look at local art collections, working studios, and unique creative displays. This unique self-guided Art House Tour offers a behind-the-scenes experience of artists' practices and collector spaces. We are pleased to feature collectors’ homes in addition to spaces created by local artists Jen Donahue, Chris Day & Molly Colleen O’Connell, Ken Reif, and Jane Sirinek.
From contemporary painters to multimedia artists and collectors, each location showcases the vibrant and diverse artistic spirit thriving in Berwyn. Tour-goers will be able to meet the home owners, collectors and artists, gain insight into their creative processes, and see firsthand how art lives within personal and professional spaces.
The event is a fundraiser for our arts organization, and we hope you will also participate in the Raffle, which will be available at the check-in location.
All Ticket Sales are Final. Event will take place Rain or Shine.

“I absolutely love this. I hope you do it again! Every house was so unique and I kept thinking of people who would enjoy this so much as I went along. Brava for putting together an incredible art tour! Every place I went, I was like: This was my favorite. No, this is my favorite. No, this is my favorite.”
