RECEPTION AND EXHIBIT AT THE VALLEJO NAVAL AND HISTORICAL MUSEUM
You will show one piece of your work during a month long exhibit. The museum will be open Saturday, November 12 from 10am to 4pm, their normal hours. They will be closed Sunday, November 13, therefore we encourage you to pick up artist directories during the Museum Reception to have on hand during Open Studios weekend.
Marketing materials will be distributed to Artists during the reception. Another important reason to attend.
MARKETING MATERIALS
Artist Directory
The Artist Directory includes one sample from each artist who applied and their contact information: studio or gallery name, artist name, address, medium, phone, email, website, you will have the option of checking a box to not include your phone or email in the directory, but we will need both for contacting you. The directories will be available for pick up in October at the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum during their normal hours. Artists can pick up copies for distribution at the Museum Reception.
Postcards
As in the past, postcards will be created for your distribution and will complement the look of the Artist Directory. You also have the option of creating your own. Email us for a copy of the VOS logo to use in your artwork. info@vallejoopenstudios.com
