Applications for Surfside Studio Tour are open to artists or craftspeople who live in Lawrencetown, East or West Lawrencetown, Three Fathom Harbour, Seaforth, Grand Desert and West Chezzetcook. Some exceptions are made if an applicant lives just outside of these parameters, has a strong connection to these communities, and has an artist or craftsperson able to host them on the day of the tour.
We use a points system during the review process. Below are the things we are considering when looking at your application along with the corresponding number of points weighted to each criteria:
Have a studio space on the tour route you are willing to open to the public (Hwy 207) (2 points)
Creative involvement in work (2 points)
Quality craftsmanship (2 points)
Originality of design (2 points)
Interactive component/demonstration at their tour stop (2 points)
NOTE: Applicants applying from outside the parameters listed above will need to score full points in all other categories to be considered. That means you must have an interactive component/demonstration at your stop.
