PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR WEBSITE HAS MOVED – YOU CAN NOW FIND OUR TOUR INFO AT:

Brooklyn Studio Tours – http://brooklynstudiotours.com

Our objective is to assist in forming new relationships and exposing your work to a greater public audience.   In the past, Open Studio Weekends have been great successes and lots of fun too.  Our May 2009 tour had many visitors who spanned across multiple studios.  We even had a visit from the Appalachian Mountain club!   Pair that with the Vespa convention on Hicks street and the weekend was filled with plenty of art, action and fun!

We will provide the main publicity, posters and maps.  In addition to our efforts to publish and post these in any and all local areas, websites and blogs  (including but not limited to all major Brooklyn neighborhoods, NYC – Chelsea, Flat Iron, Village, etc.), we ask your help in taking our materials and posting in your favorite locations, send some to friends and relationships, posting the information on your websites, blogs, emails, etc.  Our current distribution lists are now well over 2000 people.  All we need from you is your agreement to open your studio those days, your name(s), address with cross streets (so we can mark the map) and your medium. 

The fee to participate is $35. per artist.  If you are interested in hosting an artist in your studio or shared space, please let us know.  Traditionally we received interest from local artists outside the immediate Red Hook and Carroll Gardens area who want to participate.

NEW THIS YEAR!  This year we want to provide you with your own online gallery where your art will be posted for the public to browse and even purchase if you so choose!  Your entrance into the tour qualifies you for posting as many different pieces of art, photography, etc. as you want.  The online gallery will be up well before the show as the public will be checking our website for information and the tour map.  It will remain online after the tour weekend is complete as a showcase of community of artists and their work.  Please contact us for more details in the interim as we are setting the site up (expected to be live early April).

We hope that you open your studio Saturday, May 22 & Sunday, May 23 (one day is fine to) to show the community your artwork.  Sign Up Deadline is Sunday, May 9 (for print version of map & flyer). Final signup with update web map & flyer is Tuesday, May 18 (NOTE: The tour fee is $50 past May 9).  

Payment can be made via check or credit card (call if paying by credit card – we will have a payment option on the website shortly).  If paying by check, please mail to:

Looking forward to the tour!

Here is one of our marketing materials for this year’s tour.  Actual printed materials will be available shortly and available for you to pickup and distribute to your network and local storefront.  In the interim, please market these on your respective websites and social media presences.

The tour is almost here!  Start spreading the word!  Even if you are not available to display your art this time around, it would be great to extend this event to your followers as we are looking to do a few of these a year at this point.
