CFEVA staff works year-round to promote the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours to our network of artists, art lovers, alumni, supporters, curators, patrons, and advisors. We share multiple press and media alerts and share the news of POST with community centers city-wide. We are in conversation with studio buildings and institutional partners early in the year to improve POST for participants and visitors, year after year. The CFEVA team researches and applies to opportunities for additional funding and support year-round. In addition, CFEVA publishes the How to POST guide accessible to all participating artists and partners, with suggestions on how to promote individual open studio events during POST.
