Forth Valley Open Studios
Well, It’s over and the consensus is that it was an astonishing success – given the short time span we had to work in.
The benefits are too numerous to mention from educational, and financial to community involvement and inter-activity.
I had members of the public drawing for the first time on an iphone then I would email the image they created to their email account.
Forth Valley Open Studios
Our opening exhibition to launch the first Forth Valley Open Studios ( we are in central Scotland since you ask) takes place this Friday.
Tonight we have the last committee meeting before the event.
So far everything going to plan though we are concerned we are going to run out of brochures because they seem to be very popular.
Another artist, with years of experience of opening her studio under Fife Open Studios
warns that the brochure will act like a magnet and we will be inundated with people.
Lets hope all 100 artists participating are prepared ….I know I am not. Panic will set in next week.
