Questa Art Tour 2026

August 10, 2026 Claire Cote

What a wonderful Questa Art Tour we had at Sunshine 360 this year! Thank you to everyone who came out to visit, connect, purchase work, listen to cello and piano and soak in the gorgeous Sunshine Valley setting and unique architecture. I was honored to get to offer my work this year alongside our wonderful host, artist and owner of Sunshine 360, Wid Chambers, along with Scott Sutton @pigmenthunter, and artists and musicians Martha Shepp and Mark Dudrow.
