SUMMARY:Photographing 3-D Art

You’ll have an opportunity to discuss photographing your own artwork; they will even set up a few pieces brought by participants to see how lighting and background enhance 3-D artwork! \nTo register\, please click here before Sun\, Apr 19\, 2026.

Pair local food and art with a seasonal meal from one of our numerous farm-to-fork eateries. Restaurants along the tour route include Kingston 99 Kitchen and JDub’s PoBoys at The Plant\, as well as Chatham Marketplace and The Sycamore at Chatham Mills. Fearrington Village is home to several studios and plenty to experience – Fearrington House Restaurant\, McIntyre’s Books\, and The Spa at Fearringon Village\, just to name a few. \nIt’s easy to make a weekend of the tour by staying at the new Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Pittsboro\, the luxurious Fearrington House Inn\, or one of our cozy bed and breakfast inns\, such as 458 West B&B\, The Inn at Celebrity Dairy\, or Jordan Lake B&B.  \nAre the studios accessible?\nMost studios are accessible\, meaning they have wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking. If you have accessibility concerns about specific studios\, please email chathamartists@gmail.com or contact us. \nI’ve found the perfect piece… but I don’t have room in my suitcase! Do the studios offer shipping?”\nWe welcome you to check with individual studios about their shipping policies\, and most artists are likely willing to do so if asked. \nAre the studios pet-friendly?  \nSince these are private studios\, often located at an artist’s home\, we kindly request that you leave your furry friends at home for this adventure. Service animals are welcome in compliance with Title III ADA Requirements for Service Animals.
