The Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour (KAST) is one of the longest continually running Studio Tours in Canada, and offers the public a chance to explore the work of the talented artists from across the Peterborough-Kawartha region. Artists working in a range of styles and media, open up their working spaces to the public and share their artistic practice, connect with potential supporters and the community, while also promoting their work. The Art Gallery of Peterborough also mounts a supporting exhibition to preview the outstanding quality, spirit, and variety of artists on the Studio Tour.
