Registration for Artists is closed
Artists who live, work or are affiliated with the art community in Lexington please join us for the Fifth Annual Lexington Open Studios, sponsored by the Coalition of Lexington Artists. This year's event will take place on April 27 & 28, 2013, 11-5 PM. Building on the past four years of success, Lexington affiliated artists are invited to open their studios. There will be shared community space at the Munroe Center for the Arts on a first-come first-serve basis for an additional cost. The Lexington Arts and Crafts Society will have public space available for Society members. We encourage artists with their own studios to invite other artists to join with them. (Open Studio visitors often favor clusters of artists in one space for traveling convenience.)
late fee after Tuesday, January 15, 2013.

Volunteer to Ensure Open Studios is a Success
Lexington Open Studios is an all volunteer effort. Team leads have been meeting monthly throughout the year to coordinate all the planning required to execute the event. We ask that each artist participant make at least a small contribution of time to help us meet our goal of having an even more successful event this year. You are invited to attend any Lexington Open Studios meetings to discuss PR, design, logistics, how to promote our work, and how to have a good time together. Once you’ve sent us your registration or request for more information, and we have your email address, we’ll include you in our notices of meetings.
Thank you! We look forward to this shared experience! |
