More on Studio Party Locations
Then there are the possibilities of finding a host for an opening. I have long had the idea of finding a wealthy patron who is willing to host an art party, like the candle parties or Tupperware parties, or basket parties, where the hostess gets a little painting for doing the food and inviting influential friends.
How about renting a vacant store front space for a day, or asking an artist with compatible work to share his/her studio for a weekend party? You could share the expenses.
Don’t forget rec centers, church halls and other alternative spaces like a local restaurant.
When I first moved my studio back home in the building behind my house others said, “It will never work. You live too far from town”.
My studio is 12 miles from the city, out in the rural area of the county.
It has never been a problem. Most people tell me that they enjoy the drive, getting out to the country, the quiet and fresh air.
People will come where they enjoy themselves, no matter where you are. Make the party fun, comfortable, and welcoming and they will come.
Remember, Your studio, festival booth, storefront or hall is your home. Welcome guests as if they were treasured friends and they will come back.
