2007 Open Studios Tour:
If You Host an Open Studios Tour...
by Marie Grimmke
Main Street News,
Washington County, NY
If you host an Open Studios tour...people will travel
through Washington County. When they travel through Washington
County, they are probably going to stop for lunch. When they stop
for lunch, they will read about some performing arts events in the
evening. If they attend the event, they will be tired, so they will
stay the night in a local inn. In the morning, they will probably
drive by a realtor's office, and might want to buy a house. And if
they buy a house, they will need to buy some art to put in
it......that's the idea behind Washington County's Open Studios
Tour,....- bring tourists in to the county, promote the artists, and
make money.....
