Supporting the Next Generation of Artists
Continuing its commitment to arts education and mentorship, the AMR Tour will once again feature a Student Showcase, a beloved addition since 2023. Get ready to experience the incredible creativity of Roxbury Central School students at this year’s AMR Open Studio Tour!
This special mixed-media exhibition will showcase up to 50 original works of art, including vibrant paintings, expressive drawings, and imaginative papier-mâché sculptures. One of the exhibition’s highlights is a unique collaboration between students of all ages: upper-grade students designed and built the papier-mâché creations, while elementary students brought them to life with colorful paint. Under the guidance of renowned art teacher Amy Royal, these young artists have spent months exploring their creativity and developing an inspiring collection that celebrates imagination, teamwork, and artistic expression. The Roxbury Central School Student Exhibition will be on display throughout the entire weekend at Plattekill Mountain in Roxbury. Don’t miss this opportunity to support the next generation of artists and see their remarkable work on display!

MORE ABOUT THE TOUR:
What makes the AMR Open Studios Tour a unique experience for both artists and visitors?
- AMR OST is one of the longest running open studio events in the Hudson Valley/Catskills region, and the only open studios event that has the distinction of serving the small hamlets and villages of Eastern Delaware County, NY. The tour boasts established artists and art educators behind the scenes as well as on the tour. Emerging artists, including local school students, round out this esteemed group of creatives, bringing variety and inclusivity to the art community.
- AMR is also deeply entrenched in the 8 local DelCo NY communities it serves. It is a well-loved event that has taken place at the end of July since 2012. Many local businesses and galleries support this special weekend through sponsorships and distribution of physical maps. The OST would never have reached its level of success without the helping hand of local entrepreneurs. AMR personally connects artists to businesses through their sponsorship program.
- AMR’s geographical location only covers a 299 square mile area. Though the number of participating artists varies each year, with an average of 25 to 30 map locations, which include individual studios, shared studios and galleries, makes it possible to be able to complete the tour by car over the three day weekend.
- Every single AMR Artist, since the new website’s launch in 2023, has their own webpage complete with contact info, an about section and a custom designed portfolio lightbox. The page stays live and listed for a 12 month period, and even if an artist is not on the tour the following year, their webpage remains live and accessible through their direct link. For many artists, this is their only professional web presence, outside of social media.
- AMR’s print brochure/map is of itself a work of art. A very useful one, as cell service often fails us in this part of the Catskills and visitors would be literally lost without it.
In 2024, the event surged to feature 60 participating artists and galleries, boasting a total visit tally of 3,463 — well beyond our initial expectations, but also a stretch for our resources. While we are thrilled with this growth, we've learned that focusing on individual artist studios and allowing visitors the time to fully experience each one is key. In 2025, we fine-tuned the event, limiting the number of artists to allow for more intentional time for both artist and visitor. In accord with what was learned, the 2026 Open Studios Tour will be limited to 45 artists to preserve the integrity and impact of the experience.
AMR Artists Inc., a non-profit organization, plays a vital role in connecting local emerging artists with established professionals. AMR stands for Andes, Roxbury and Margaretville, the three original towns involved in the Open Studios Tour when it first began in 2012. Dedicated to creating a welcoming environment for artists and art enthusiasts, AMR works to bridge the gap between the Hudson Valley and the Western Catskills, positioning Eastern Delaware County as a dynamic regional hub for visual arts and fine crafts. Their programs actively integrate talented local artists with Main Street businesses, galleries, the community, and tourists.
