HopArts Studio Trial is a nonprofit organization leading annual tours of artists studios and galleries in Washington County, also known as South County, Rhode Island.

HopArts was founded in 2005 as a studio tour in Hopkinton, Rhode Island. The event is free and open to the public, and the galleries the tour visits waive any entry fees. Artists involved in the tour have included Jay Lacouture, former President of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, sculptor Jillian Barber, and Daniel Read, a glass artist who studied with Dale Chihuly.

The HopArts studio tour included artist studios in the towns of Ashaway, Hope Valley, Rockville, Wyoming, and Carolina in Rhode Island.
