Debriefing on Lexington Open Studios event
Discussion of pros and cons as to whether the event would be more inviting to the public
if it would be more centralized. Zoe and Barbara attended the Friday night reception and
gave glowing reviews As for Saturday, Zoe thought attendance was sparse due to
distance from center of town (of her own studio) The locales in or near the center(the
old Sundial Bookstore and Munroe Center)were very popular and well attended. We
proposed sponsoring a shuttle bus to take viewers to the various studios
It was proposed that we should invite Christian back for discussion and feedback on new
idea.
We also discussed sponsoring the event
