The work and work spaces of 25 area artists will be showcased in southeast Iowa later this month. Barb Grimmer is a Mt. Pleasant based artist who’s participating in the studio tour. She says it’s a unique opportunity to take in a lot of local artwork. The event will feature studios in Washington, Jefferson, Lee, Henry and Des Moines Counties. It’s October 17 from 9-4, and October 18 from noon to 4. Visit www.iowastudiotour.org for more information
