California Artists Open
Studio Events -
Silicon Valley
This year is the 19th annual Silicon Valley Open Studios program, and
here is what you can expect!
Dates: First Three Weekends in May
We are continuing with our standardized dates: our program will run the "First
Three Weekends in May" from here on out. Standardizing on these dates will help
the public to remember when our program occurs, and we hope it will draw greater
crowds to our studios over time.

Publicity & Advertising
In 2004, we gained over 24 press clippings in 3 weeks! This is an astounding
amount of media coverage for our program, and we hope to increase the press for
2006. (List of clippings from 2004)
Advertising. We have budgeted to put advertising for our open studios event into
the San Jose Mercury News, METRO Magazine, and other high-level news
periodicals. We hope these ads draw even more attention to our program!
Street Banners. We will be producing almost 30 new banners to go across busy
public streets and hang on street lights. The street banners are designed to
greatly increase awareness of our program during the open studios weekends.
Open Studios for Schools. This valuable program is intended to educate students
about fine art, including how artists live and work, offering a free educational
opportunity for beleagured students. We have adopted the 49er Academy as our
pilot program and are seeking artists to perform arts instruction at the school.
Artists can login and sign up to be an instructor for the pilot program. We are
pursuing grants to support this valuable program. If you would like to donate to
support this program, contact
director@svlocalartists.org.
Media Training Seminar. As a result of last year's Media Training seminars, many
artists who followed the training were very successful in gaining media coverage
for their open studios and other events. Our public relations consultants will
perform one of these seminars for the 2005 program. Artists who participate are
expected to maintain a media contact on behalf of Open Studios during the
program year.
Gala Opening: Early April at the San Jose Museum of Art
Champagne, fine art, live and silent auctions. Our Gala Opening reception at the
San Jose Museum of Art in 2004 was a wild success! We hope you can join us in
2006!
PEEK Exhibit.
Last year we conducted 5 PEEK Exhibits. This year we are looking for a warehouse
space so we can hold one huge PEEK for all artists during the month of April.
Stay tuned!
Online Registration and Artist Directory
Our online registration process has empowered artists to ensure the accuracy of
their information in the Online Artist Directory and Map Guide. All information
entered by artists on the secure portion of our website is stored in an online
database; and we generate the content for the Map Guide and Online Artist
Directory directly from this online database--vastly reducing volunteer
interaction with data. For 2006, we added a thumbnail image for each artist that
will appear on results pages whenever people search our website to find artists,
as well as on a home page for the Online Directory that shows all artists' work.
We also added the flexibility for artists to designate up to three price ranges
for their work. And plans for the 2006 launch include printable Maps from our
website for touring studios.
