Some of the entrances are street-level.
Some are tucked around corners off the beaten path. Just follow the signs!

The Exeter Fall Art Tour is a town-wide once-a-year event that offers an opportunity to meet artists, see galleries, possibly participate in an art process, and purchase your favorite works.
It’s a chance to talk to some of the makers & gallery organizers that spark passion in a culturally rich small town.
🟡 Because some of the individual artist studios are not open for regular hours, this weekend offers the unique opportunity to take a peek inside spaces not normally open to the public!
When it’s time for a break, be sure to ask the hosts at any location for a recommendation ...we all have our favorites!
So much to see and do. Thank goodness we have two days.
You could easily plan ahead & make an entire weekend of it. Find a cozy place to stay or a great eatery to grab lunch, dinner or drinks.
