Calling All Woodland Valley Artists

Judith Singer contacted me and asked me to reach out to all the Woodland Valley artists. If any of you would like to be on the Shandaken Art Tour this is your opportunity. See Judith's note below for info:

Hello Artists and Craftspeople-

We are preparing for the 4th annual Shandaken Art Studio Tour, which will take place on July 16th - 17th this year. If you are an artist or fine artisan living in the Town of Shandaken, full-time or part-time, we invite you to contact us to discuss becoming one of the participants on the tour.

The first three tours have been very successful, resulting in thousands of dollars of total sales for the participants. The membership fee is small - most of the expense is covered by a generous grant from the New York State Council on the Arts through the Dutchess County Arts Council, by local business sponsorship, and by private donations. This enables us to place large color ads in Chronogram, Kingston Freeman, and Woodstock Times among other publications, and we are promoted by Ulster County Tourism. The tour produces and distributes thousands of glossy brochures throughout the county, and maintains a fine website, www.ShandakenArt.com, that includes a map, photos and descriptions of all the artists on the tour.

If you are interested, please contact Dave Channon and Judith Singer at info@ShandakenArt.com.
Thank you!

Judith and Dave
