On & Off Fredericksburg Road Studio Tour

More than 80 artists will participate in the 13th annual On and Off Fredericksburg Road Studio Tour presented by Bihl Haus Arts from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22 and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23 in San Antonio’s Deco District.

“Fred” is a self-guided tour of private homes, art studios and galleries of the participating artists, including painters, sculptors, photographers and metal smiths. The studio tour kicks off with an On and Off Fred Autograph Party and opening reception from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21 at Bihl Haus Arts, 2803 Fredericksburg Road, 78201. Music is by Los Nahuatlatos.

The Deco District has become a hot spot for many of the Alamo City’s artists. In fact, all artists featured in Fred live and/or work in the surrounding Fredericksburg Road communities: Alta Vista, Beacon Hill, Los Angeles Heights, Jefferson, Keystone, Monticello Park and Woodlawn Lake.

“Our goal is to highlight the quality, variety, and sheer numbers of professional artists who live and/or work in these neighborhoods,” said Kellen McIntyre, executive director of Bihl Haus Arts, the nonprofit that organizes the event each year.

Attendees can purchase either the hardcopy color catalog, consisting of a map to help people plan their route, artist bios and an image of their work, or the online catalog for $10. For more information, visit www.OnandOffFred.org or call Bihl Haus Arts at (210) 383-9723.
