The Starns are in alignment!

I just found out that the Starn's Big Bambu will be open for viewing the weekend of BOS. This should prove to be an extra draw for art-loving people who make the trek to Beacon.

Volunteers needed

Open Studios needs volunteers for the following tasks:

• Map Czar-someone to be in charge of creating the free map listing all of the artists’ studios. Artists will be listed alphabetically and by discipline and by day their studio is open.

• Map Under-Czar: someone needs to help input the data onto a spreadsheet of artist’s names, studio addresses, etc. Typing skills a must.

• Kickoff party crew-need 10 volunteers to help hang the show, serve drinks and clean up Friday Sept 25.

• Gallery Sitters-4 people needed to sit the gallery where the kickoff exhibition will be held all weekend sept 26-27

• PR assistant-help distribute flyers, posters and other materials to local businesses. Must be able to go door to door on Main St. and keep track of where promo materials were left off then follow up to make sure PR materials remain in windows.

Come to Chill on June 26th 5-7pm

Beacon Open Studios will be holding our first registration party at Chill (located at 173 Main St. Beacon) during happy hour on Friday June 26th from 5-7pm. Come enjoy a beverage, meet other artists and sign up to be an Open Studios artist!

If you cannot make it to this event, you can stop by Zuzu's (453 Main St Beacon) on Saturday June 27th from 10am-noon to register. If neither of those dates work for you, registration forms are also available by going to the BACA website where you can download one and mail it in.

Hope to see you there!
