2017 Studio ArTour includes 22 studios, 39 artists, is free, and open to the public. Artists are present, encouraged to do demonstrations giving residents of Southeast Minnesota the opportunities to see and interact with area artists and purchase original work. Artists are asked to collect information on how many visitors and where they are from, why they chose to come and are they interested in pursuing any of the mediums they saw. A wrap up meeting will be held to gather information from the artists.
We wanted to engage, and encourage younger visitors thru social media. We doubled the amount of Facebook followers, and had videos from artists’ studios and noticed younger visitors from colleges, and high school students.
