Monday, May 1st is the registration deadline for artists to participate in Philadelphia Open Studio Tours (Oct. 14th and 15th, 2006). Info & applications available at: http://www.philaopenstudios.com/

If folks are interested in participating in a group show at Coral Street Arts House instead of having your own studio open, please contact Laura Semmelroth at 215.739.0310 or lsemmelroth@nkcdc.org

The cost to participate in the group at Coral Street is $10/person vs. $80 registration fee for individual studios.

Also, NKCDC is organizing a van or trolley to facilitate visitors seeing all the studios safely & conveniently. Studios that want to be on the bus loop will have to chip in a small fee, that way everyone can get in on it affordably! We are also providing maps for the tour in our neighborhood. Contact Laura for more info if you are interested in getting on the route.

You just made me excited for the Studio Tours! I only made one weekend last year and am committed to seeing as much as I can this year. It is always a wonderful event and if you are one of the people who organizes it, nola, thank you so much!

And a van or trolley sounds like a neat idea.
