ArtSpan Announcements, Reminders & Updates
1. Letter from ArtSpan Executive Director, Dyana Curerri Ermatinger
 
The wave that is Open Studios has passed and we are now moving into a period of evaluation and information gathering. My message to you this month is short but extremely important.

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK! To do so please go online to the Open Studio participant survey located at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=801312883278

This survey is directed to artists who participated in 2006 Open Studios. It will take just a few minutes but will give us a wealth of information as we go into planning mode for next year.

My thanks to all of you in advance for participating!

Dyana Curreri-Ermatinger
Executive Director
