First Annual Open Studios Art Tour. The Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts is planning a DIVA sponsored Open Studios Art Tour to be held in October 2008.
This two weekend event will assist area artists to sell their work while also providing the public with a unique opportunity to collect art and learn about the creative process in the artist’s own studio. We also hope that this tour will provide support for the continuing operation of the DIVA Center and in the future, become a signature event and major fundraiser for the Center.
All sales of art during the Studio Tour remain with the individual artist. A 35% commission will be taken only on the art sold from the Preview Exhibit to be held the month prior to the Tour at DIVA.
Eligibility Requirements: artists must reside in the Eugene Springfield area and must be members of DIVA.
Consult the Open Studio web page for more complete information or call DIVA at 541-344-3482 |

Live, multi-media and performance-based works with a strong film or video emphasis are also encouraged to submit.
