WRITING BIOS
2023 Studio Tour online listings have two fields available in the artist profiles.
- description of the art works
- biographical information for the artist, group or gallery
Examples of what a description of work and a biography might look like are provided here.
STUDIO TOUR MAPS:
After June 14th, Studio Tour Maps will be available to any Member who wishes a copy. Multiple copies will be provided to participating artists when they pick up their Location Signs. Additional maps are available upon request throughout the remainder of the year, by contacting Debbie (902 820 5199).
STUDIO TOUR SIGNS:
Each studio/gallery location will receive a numbered sign corresponding to their location on the map, in addition to signs that will direct visitors in the case of sites located off major routes. Signs will be available for pick up at St. Luke’s Church, on June 29th, between 4:00 and 5:30 pm.
A $10 deposit per sign will be collected. Deposits will be refunded in full when signs are returned.
Signs are permitted to be on display ONLY during the Studio Tour, July 14, 15, and 16th. Artists and galleries open on other days during the Festival are welcome to post their own personal signs advertising welcome to visitors, but are asked NOT to use the Studio Tour signs for this purpose.
Artists are asked to return signs and passports to the shed behind St. Luke’s Church, on July 18th between 1:00 and 3:00 PM. Anyone unable to return signs at these times must contact Gretchen Amirault (902-826-7690) to make other arrangements.
PASSPORTS:
Print copies of passports will be provided when Location Signs and Studio Tour Maps are collected by participation artists. Passports may also be printed using this link:
Completed passports will be entered into a prize draw for a $500 gift certificate towards the purchase of art works from any of the participating Studio Tour artists or galleries. Artists whose work is chosen by the winner will be paid in full from the Studio Tour budget.
Visitors will be permitted one passport signature per map location (regardless of the number of registered artists showing at the location).
Visitors making an art purchase of $50 (before taxes) or more will also be eligible for the draw. The passport must be signed by a representative where the purchase was made and completed with contact information.
Passports not only encourage people to visit numerous studios and galleries, but once completed, provide valuable information about visitor demographics, studio visits, and purchases made. Please ensure that information is complete and legible.
