Virtual Tour: Staying Connected ▪ October 2-4 ▪ 2020
To the friends and supporters of Hidden Studios Art Tour:
In our 17th year, we have decided it is in the best interest of the health and safety of our artists, volunteers, and attendees to push all festivities to virtual outlets in a new form of our event: "Hidden Studios Art Tour: Staying Connected".
The tour will continue to be centered around personal interactions with each of the artists.
Things included in Hidden Studios Art Tour: Staying Connected
Participating artists will have pieces available for purchase online on the online marketplace. Throughout the weekend, a series of videos will be released of each studio as a virtual tour option. Along with that, artists will offer demos, question and answer sessions, and additional live streaming videos for audience interaction.
17 artists intend on participating virtually.
These artists include: Curtis Archer-sculpture, Pamela Bronk- leather handbags, Neil Estrick- ceramics, Jessie Frtisch- encaustics, Sharon Fujimoto-glass, Mike Jagielo-wood, Joseph Kaftan- glass mosaics, Paul Klein- wood, Pat Kroth- fiber, James McKnight- watercolor, Carolina Niebres- ceramics, Mary Lee Reineking- mixed media, Kristin Thielking and Keven Brunett- glass, Elise Thornton- willow/birch bark baskets, Jon Walton- photography, and Kim Wilson- jewelry.
With this unexpected hit to original plans, the tour needs our patron’s help now more than ever. We have launched the “Keep the Tour Thriving” fundraising plan to help sustain the event for this year and next. With most of our budget having to now spread across both 2020 and 2021, we need to raise additional funds. Our goal is $1,200 to cover additional promotion and operating costs.
More details will be announced as they arise, but for now please continue to follow along as we discover how we can continue to creatively connect on a new level!
Most sincerely,
The Hidden Studios Art Tour Steering Committee
Paul Klein, Sharon Fujimoto, Mike Jagielo, and Jessie Fritsch
& Marketing Coordinator Molly Andreae
We need your help to keep the tour thriving
Keep the Tour Thriving Campaign
Our goal is to raise $1,200 to sustain our tour for 2020 and 2021. This will contribute greatly to promotion and operations of the tour. As we progress, our Keep the Tour Thriving Goal will fill up with studios.
Your donation of $5:
Every $5 donation contributes directly to our funding of the tour this year and next.
To put it into perspective, with every $5 donation, we can reach an additional 613 people per week through social media advertisements
A $5 donation allows us to send out additional save the date postcards to 5 people. Which ignites word-of-mouth promotion. If 5 people each told 5 people, 25 people would know and if each of those people told 5 people, 125 people would know about the tour, and so on...
Donate To Keep the Tour Thriving
Every dollar helps tremendously to sustain the tour for 2020 and 2021. We deeply appreciate any support at this time.
