In January of 2025, we took interior designers and people in the hospitality industry on an exclusive fine art studio tour to enjoy a unique experience that combined culture, local art and networking.
We rented a cool van and drove our guests around in style to a few of our artist partners studios while we chatted and laughed together. The event began with a guided tour led by EC founder, fine art expert, and art consultant, Andrea Bogart, who offered insiders an opportunity for an intimate firsthand look at our artist partner’s most significant pieces. Afterward, participants were invited to stay for drinks and conversation with Andrea and the other guests. Our event co-collabotor, ENVI Design Group generously paid for the afterglow.
For this premier Artist Studio Private Tour, we traveled together in comfort to two artist studios showcasing their talents: contemporary wall art crafted using antique wallpaper, bold, and industrial-styled abstract paintings. An artist partner who was unable to be there in person dropped off her whimsical wallpaper designs. During this private presentation, local interior designers learned about the artist’s unique processes, asked questions, and discovered their brilliant artworks for their commercial, luxury residential, and hospitality projects. Our guests were all smiles and wide-eyed as they got up close and personal with the artwork and learned about the fine art process.
After completing all artist studio tours, we landed at a local watering hole for drinks, a light dinner, and more conversation. Our premier artist studio private tour in Grosse Pointe, MI was such a success that we are doing it again, and again, and again! The May 21 tour is over but make sure you register to find out about our next Artist Studio Private Tours.
“Hi Andrea! Thank you so much for planning this event and inviting us along! Taylor and I had such a great time exploring the artist’s spaces and hearing them speak about their processes and works. We hope to be able to attend the tours in the future and bring along more of our team!”
