Diary of an artist writer online

We are getting good publicity in the Stirling Observer for our Forth Valley Open Studios which starts this weekend . They have given individual artists a half page spread in the four weeks leading up to the event. Geographically our Open Studios covers a vast area of central Scotland and we have not been so lucky with publicity in the Falkirk Herald though the Allloa Advertiser is very supportive along with all the free sheets. We are relying more and more on social media – Twitter and Facebook- to get the message out about the event rather than traditional media. Our opening exhibition last Friday in Delta Studios drew a large crowd though not all artists chose to submit work. We think this is because some were keeping it all for their own open studios.
