Creative and Business Partners open call Extended!
Creative and Business Partners are local design or architectural firms, restaurants, coffee shops, retail spaces, galleries, showrooms, and other businesses that directly support the Austin Studio Tour by purchasing a branded listing in the tour catalog, website and mobile app: the go-to resources for creatives, makers, artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts year-round. These organizations directly support the local art community by providing vital innovation and funds that keep tour programming free and accessible to the public. In turn, Big Medium provides marketing opportunities and materials that encourage tour attendees to patronize those who partake and support the incredible art and artists that our city has to offer.
As part of your support for the Austin Studio Tour, all Creative and Business Partners receive:
Official graphic to help you promote your participation on your channels
Official Austin Studio Tour sign recognizing Partners
Listing in the Austin Studio Tour digital catalog, map (10,000 printed and distributed), website and digital map (100,000+ unique visitors), and mobile app (12,000 users and growing!)

Big Medium will provide Austin Studio Tour graphics package for you to use at your discretion.
