Tour Itineraries below show where the Itinerant Artist Project (IAP) has been so far.

Take the First Tour: An interactive map takes you through the full catalog of artwork and journal entries from the Project's initial 10,000 mile cross-country art road trip. View any or all of the 31 stops.


Since 2000, I've carried out art tours on three geographic scales: national, regional, and – increasingly – local:

In 2010, to celebrate ten years of the IAP, I did a hometown tour. The Roc-Art blog shares all the resulting artwork – 85 paintings from 10 locations in Rochester, NY – as well as some reflections on the process.

My recent Ithaca Tour led to an interview on the Tish Pearlman radio show and this intriguing blog/slide show .


If you are interested in being a host or arranging an Itinerant Artist Project exhibit or presentation in your neck of the woods, please contact me. Also check out the web pages that discuss hosting and presentations.
