Williamstown Township Artists’ Fine Art Sale & Studio Tour

The 12th annual Williamstown Township Artists’ Fine Art Sale & Studio Tour will feature art by local 19 artists who work with a variety of mediums, including photography, ceramics, clay, jewelry and linocut printing. They have each donated pieces that will be raffled off to attendees during the event.

One of the artists, Bobbi Kilty, has traveled internationally to teach and learn about different forms of art. She studied sumi-e, a type of Japanese brush painting, at Osaka University in Osaka, Japan, and directed Michigan State University’s interior design study abroad program for four years, taking students to Ireland, Italy and beyond.

Kilty enjoys working with mediums of all kinds. She’s recently been experimenting with house paint, spackle, cheesecloth, comic book imagery, pigmented inks, Fosshape fabric and Zen brushwork on rice paper. She draws inspiration from nature and ecology, using art to celebrate the world around her.

Kilty’s art will be featured at Williamstown Township Hall, 4990 Zimmer Road, alongside the work of five other artists. Other stops on the tour include Williamston Wellness at 1235 East Grand River Avenue, Mary Curtis Fritz’s studio at 4411 Rodeo Trail, Nancy and Lee Kronenberg’s studio at 285 East Sherwood Road and Mark Chatterly’s studio at 231 Turner Road, all in Williamston, and Christine Beals’ studio at 10258 Pollard Road in Haslett.

Tickets are $5 and are good for both days. They’re available on Eventbrite; at the Williamstown Township office, which is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday; or at any of the stops on the tour. All proceeds will be used to purchase playground equipment for the township’s parks.
