Perhaps you are an artist new to town. Maybe you want to show off your work this year for the first time because you’ve reached a new level or have gone in a new direction. Or, maybe you are looking for more ways to promote your work. If so, please join us for another wonderful RiverArts Studio Tour. Now in our 17th year, RiverArts’ Studio Tour is one of the biggest tours on the east coast. We believe this year will be even better and we hope you will be a part of it.
The tour will take place over two weekends – October 22-23 and October 29-30. Studios are open 10:00am-5:00pm. You must be a member of RiverArts to participate. Single memberships are $50 and family memberships are $65. To make sure your membership is up to date, call RiverArts, 410-778-6300, and they’ll check on your membership status. The registration fee for the tour is $75.
New this year!
RiverArts Studio tour will have its own dedicated year round web site. This will increase our visibility and allow us to better promote the tour, RiverArts, and our participating artists. As a low cost alternative to having their own dedicated website, for a minimal yearly charge, artists can opt to have a dedicated artist page (on the new studio tour web site) showing their images and Artist information/contact info.
To better direct visitors to studios that are “off the beaten path” we are totally redoing the 2016 Studio Tour brochure. The new design will have a more geographic focus that presents visitors with mini-itineraries that cover all the studios and points of interest within a geographic area (such as Queen Annes County, Betterton, or Rock Hall). We also have plans for an increased social media presence with additional resources dedicated to this activity.
Studios open all year will be identified in the brochure for no extra charge. Artists or groups of artists that wish to buy custom Ads in the brochure may do so at 1/2 the rate charged to commercial advertisers.
Registration is due by May 15. For more information and/or to register go to https://chestertownriverarts.org/events/studio-tour/2016-studio-tour-registration/ Once your reservation is received, we will send out additional information regarding the Tour, Gallery Show, and Reception at RiverArts. We hope you will join us!
