How do you tell the spring art tour from the fall art tour? They are both in the Driftless area of southern Wisconsin, but in spring, the tour takes a slightly less westerly course, encompassing Mount Horeb, Blue Mounds, Arena, Mazomanie, Black Earth, Blanchardville, Argyle and New Glarus. Drop in to the studios of 29 local artists; as a bonus, the Mount Horeb Driftless Historium is celebrating its 50th anniversary with “Roots Reimagined,” which showcases works by Spring Art Tour artists.
