The Skaneateles Area Arts Council will present its second edition of “Fall in Love With Art,” a tour of artist studios in the Skaneateles area, Oct. 3 and 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The tour features 13 artists in 10 studio locations based in homes throughout Skaneateles; the work of five artists presented in the Strods Barn on Benson Road; and West Lake Conservators, a nationally known art restoration firm in Skaneateles Falls. Proceeds from the tour will support the Arts Council’s cultural events and community grants program.

Tickets are $20 (free, for those under 16) and can be purchased at the Sherwood Inn or the Skaneateles Area Chamber of Commerce. For more information on the Artist Studio Tour or other Arts Council programs, call 315-685-2414.
