Get in on the 'artseen studio tour'!

The time has come to get the ball rolling for our 2nd annual "artseen studio tour" here in Frisco. This year's tour will be Saturday, October 20 (10:00am - 5:00pm) and Sunday, October 21 (1:00pm - 5:00pm).

VAGF has teamed with Frisco Arts Association and will have tables available at the Black Box Theatre. We will also have a table for children's art. Please let us know if you want to have a table at the Black Box for the ArtTour.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Go to the following link to sign up: http://artseenhere.com/studio-tour-2012/studio-tour-sign-up/) - It is password protected. The password is: studiotour2012.

2. We will then invoice you for $50 via PayPal -- that is the fee for each participating artist and merchant. This will cover the cost for printing high-quality tri-fold maps, yard signs, advertising posters, postcards, etc., and also print advertising in local papers. In addition, you will have a bio, photos and a link to your site on www.artseenhere.com for almost a year.

3. Send me a high-quality JPEG image of your art to be used in all promotional materials. This image should be eye-catching and create interest in your art. People quickly make their decisions on which artists to see by looking at your JPEG. Choose a high-contrast image with good quality that is typical of your work.

4. Send me an artist statement and bio. Images and bio/artist statement should be sent to this e-mail address. (See examples at www.artseenhere.com/studiotour2011.)

THE DEADLINE FOR SIGN-UP/PAYMENT IS MIDNIGHT ON AUGUST 1, 2012.
