Exploring the West End
Come along with us as we explore the western portion of our fall studio tour - Tofte to Lutsen. Known locally as the “West End,” this area has so much to offer year-round, and is particularly known for it’s spectacular fall colors!
This year we have two artist studios and one gallery in the West End. In general, the stops along the tour are numbered from west to east, so we will start with the western-most stop and work our way up the shore.
