Friends and Colleagues,

Open Studios is approaching quickly (but you already knew that)! Continuing from our Ready Set Go guide, here are our final suggested preparations for Open Studios (and short post event checklist) below.

We hope you find it helpful and welcome your input as well!

Just a heads up to all who are starting the registration process, if you had an account with us last year, it is no more.

When registration opens up at 8:30, do not try to login with last year’s user name and password, it doesn’t exist.

Due to popular demand at the artist meeting, I have put together a walk through of the registration process.

You can view screen shots and step by step instructions by clicking on this link:

Have a great day!

Worried you’ll forget to bring something to set yourself up for Open Studios? There’s no need to re-invent the wheel when you can use our handy dandy packing checklist below or download it from our website. Pick and choose and add your own suggestions!

JPOS Packing Checklist
(for group sites or to prepare your studio)

[Just got this in from Rob Festa at Dogdevil Studio, a JPOS artist and one of the movers and shakers behind the upcoming JP Themed Show. Congrats, Rob!]

Posting a gallery to the JPOS website really can get you noticed.

“People who try to save money by not marketing might as well stop a clock to save time!”

The upside, and downside, of any Open Studios event, is that, at the end of the day, the artist is really the only one responsible for their success.
