REGISTER TO PARTICIPATE BY OCTOBER 16

This year, the ACC will be organizing a virtual event instead of an in-person event with trolley tours. The event will be one week long, rather than a weekend, and registration will be free for all artists and other participants. And this year, Amesbury Open Studios will include new opportunities for artists, musicians, actors, and all culture-makers here in Amesbury and the surrounding region.

ONLINE MARKETPLACE
Just in time for holiday shopping! The Open Studios & More website will make it easy for shoppers to browse through and search for participating artists, by name or by medium. To purchase art, shoppers will be directed to the personal websites of participating artists. 


VIRTUAL TOURS / ONLINE PERFORMANCES, CLASSES & DEMONSTRATIONS
Participants can submit pre-recorded tours of their art studios, music studios, kitchens, theatres, and every space where culture is made. The ACC will promote all virtual tours on the web and in social media.​

PARTICIPANT RESOURCE GUIDE
The ACC will provide a resource guide to help participants market themselves and sell their works during the Open Studios week and beyond.

Bob studied oil painting for over thirty years under the direction of the late Edward L. Loper, Sr.; founder of the Loper School of Art, Wilmington, DE.  He now teaches oil painting classes designed to help the serious beginner get started or for those artists looking for a new direction and approach to their art.  His classes are held in Exeter, NH and Newburyport, MA; as well as plein air workshops on Monhegan Island in Maine.  He previously taught at the Doylestown (PA) Community Conservatory School of Music, Arts, and Drama.  

Bob is a member of the Seacoast Artist Association in Exeter, NH; the Newburyport Art Association; the Exeter Arts Committee and the Exeter Seacoast Open Studio.
