2010 Stouffville Studio Tour Success
Well Saturday went off without a hitch. I received a great deal of wonderful comments yesterday about my work. The weather has and continues to be incredible this weekend. though the numbers of people were down in my location on Saturday., I had a whopping 70 people through yesterday. Certainly it's nothing to sneeze at. I'm tremendously thankful to everyone who stopped by.
For those who do not know it, Studio Tours take a tremendous amount of work that goes on year round. Not only is it a personal challenge for an artist in his own space, there is an incredible amount of work by all the Studio Tour participants to organize such an event. The year for organizing a tour starts out in February where members of the governing committee get together to start hashing out plans for the year. New artists must also have their applications and portfolios ready in February for review by our selection committees who review all the now applicants to insure the artist meets a level of ability that compliment our tour.
Preparation needs to start early so we can have enough time to create our brochures, website and to get the word out in general. Every artist who enters the tour is brought in to fold as a partner in creating this special event, so everyone has a task or 5 to do. This year everyone did a great job and it's really a testament to the whole of the group to have had the Stouffville Studio Tour become what is it is today.
Thanks to everyone who helped us make this a truly exceptional event for our Community.
