Why Should Artists Advertise in the SF Open Studios Guide?
Because it is the most effective way to reach the thousands of your potential collectors who are visiting SF Open Studios during October and November! It serves to build interest in your art, direct people to your studio, and help clients follow up with you year round. ArtSpan distributes 20,000 copies of the Guide to coffee shops, hotels, museums and bookstores, as well as retail and tourist spots throughout the Greater Bay Area. It is a resource for art collectors, art dealers, restaurant owners, interior designers, and other art enthusiasts who want to contact artists directly. Last year, the Guide was distributed to over 500 locations in San Francisco alone. SF Open Studios attendees visit the mapped artists’ locations and keep the Guide as a memento and a reference.
