GUEMES ISLAND

SUMMER ART STUDIO TOUR

SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 2023, 10 AM TO 4 PM

CALL FOR ARTISTS!

Enrollment is now open for the Summer Art Studio Tour scheduled for Saturday, June 3 from 10 am to 4 pm.

ENROLLMENT IS NOW OPEN!

There are several options:

1) Open your studio or maybe an outdoor space at your home.

2) Invite other artists to join you at your studio space.

3) Indoor space at Community Center hall (space is limited) with tables provided.

4) Outdoor space with a popup tent near the hall or stage.

5) A few artists will be able to display on the Community Stage.

We are requesting a $25 donation to GICCA to participate but welcome everyone. We reinvest all of these donations into the event primarily with signage and marketing. One priority is strengthening the bases for the signs so they do not blow over flat when it is windy.

CALENDAR

March 26: Deadline for sign up (to be included in the map). Early enrollment is appreciated as Devon begins to build the event map.

An Email with these answers is fine: Name; Studio Name; Studio address; media or description; your email and phone (not published); any other artists at your site (if known); do you need extra directional signs to help folks navigate to your studio; any demonstrations at your studio that day? any other notes?

We also need some photos of your work but the deadline is flexible. The most effective marketing is showing your newest creations. Send to “GuemesIslandArt@gmail.com” with your name in the title.

March 26 or so… Drop a payment to GICCA into the center mailbox across the street from the hall with your name. This allows us to confirm our expense budget for the event.
