Tour was free this year so we don't have a clear idea of how many visitors came but, if we total up all reported visits to studios we get over 700 visits. Sounds like a pretty good turnout.

Below are the highlights of artists suggestions for future tours along with other tour reports.

Ads. Maybe they could be larger. Feature articles in the Chronogram, for example, might help. It might be too costly, but maybe a large van could be used to transport people to studios not located in town. A possibility could be a "morning loop" and an "afternoon loop" hitting several studios in a set time frame.

Have Transportation.

I suggest a single color, yellow, for the balloons that ties in with the ad. And I would like to see us gather to talk about the ad if there are others who feel it could be improved.

Scheduling a wrap-up meeting a week or so after the weekend could do a lot for group identity and enthusiasm. Arranging the directions on the back of the map keyed to the numbered location, rather than alphabetical by first name, seems less confusing.

Needs more publicity

Signage that unites the cooperative event. That is, a distinct logo, or possible a red border around the sign with either names or numbers inside. something very bold. Oh meant to tell you loved Milton Glassers cartoon that you use for the Studio Tour. Possible the bottom of sign would could replicate the bottom logo of your sign.

As a Chamber sponsored event it should have had more presence.

Make it free like Saugerties Artists Tour with a Brochure.

Some of the more interesting visitors came specifically because of the sample they saw on the Westwood window. Maybe an earlier preview of the artists participating in the studio tour would stimulate more attendance. Maybe an announcement that there will be a preview of these artists put up two weeks prior to the actual tour.

Increase publicity.

Maybe a good article in the Woodstock Times and the Freeman.

Maybe if someone talks personally to the newspaper writers.
