WANT TO PROPOSE AN OPEN STUDIOS™ SESSION FOR HOUSTON FESTIVAL 2024?
Open Studios™ is a unique area on the show floor where teachers can discuss and demonstrate their projects/lessons/process/creativity to a dedicated audience of Festivalgoers, with four sessions going on simultaneously in two-hour slots. Access to Open Studios™ for Festivalgoers is free. Sessions will run from 10 am-6 pm from Oct. 31-November 2, and 10 am-2 pm on November 3.
The themed “sections” of Open Studios™ are as follows:
- Quilt
- Create
- Embellish/Paint
- Stitch/Sew
The Proposal Form allows you to offer four session titles. These can be repeated if your schedule allows. The submission deadline is August 12, 2024.
While there is no compensation for teaching an Open Studios™ session, it’s a great way to get your name, brand, and work out there to a captive and active audience of potential customers and students!
