GET READY FOR NEXT TIME

  • Take photos of your set-up and display so next time, you can repeat what you liked. 
  • Make you own checklist of what you need to prepare so next time it's easier. 
  • Save all your templates: newsletter, postcard, and ad for the guide and then each year you can just drop a new image and change text as needed. 
  • Make sure to take photographs and measurements of all work for your records. 

Most of all, enjoy the weekend! Take time to look at all your accomplishments; your new series of work, your clean studio! Each time you do Open Studios, you will build on your experiences from the previous years. There is a reason so many SF Open Studios artists have been participating year after year. It is a wonderful event and a great way to build your art career!

Join other artists for ArtSpan's annual feedback forum and potluck and share your experiences. Be sure to fill out the online survey sent out by ArtSpan after your Open Studio so that we can improve as well! Learn about volunteer opportunities and ways that you can participate year-round!
