CAMANO ISLAND, Wash. – March 17, 2020 -- Today, the Camano Arts Association board made the decision to suspend the 2020 Camano Studio Tour in response to growing concerns about the spread of COVID-19.

The tour, which takes place over Mother’s Day weekend and weekend following every year, is a long-standing Camano Island tradition. While tour participants noted that this decision was not taken lightly, they also described that it was the right thing to do in light of the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) recommendation to halt gatherings of 50 people or more in addition to the proven methods of social distancing as one of the most effective means of preventing the spread of a virus that can take weeks to incubate with no symptoms.
