Astoria Studio Tour issues call for artists ASTORIA — The Astoria Society of Artists invites local artists to participate in its Astoria Studio Tour 2015, which will take place on the last weekend of July. The Astoria Society of Artists was formed in 2014 to organize and manage the stu- dio tour, which is now in its ¿IWK\HDU$VZDVWKHFDVHODVW year, this year’s event will fo- cus exclusively on welcoming area residents and out-of-town visitors to meet artists in their studios. This year’s Astoria Stu- dio Tour will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Satur- day and Sunday, July 25 and 26. The tour is free and open to the public. “Astoria’s art scene is becoming increasingly vi- brant,” said Astoria artist Kimberly Reed, “and after last year’s immensely suc- cessful tour, we intend to present another well-orga- nized and well-publicized event that will benefit all local artists and the entire community.” Members of the Astoria Society of Artists’ 2015 Stu- dio Tour production team in- clude Paul Haist, Drew Her- zig, Isabelle Johnston-Haist, Gin Laughery, Robert Paulmenn, Kimberly Reed, Charles Schweigert, Chris- tine Trexel and Constance Waisanen. “All of us participated in last year’s studio tour and are eager to promote the lo- cal art scene,” said Trexel, a book and paper artist. “We strongly encourage artists in all media to take part in this year’s tour.” More information, in- cluding the application to participate in the tour, is available at www.asto- riaartists.org. There is a $25 registration fee per artist. The application deadline is April 30. Interested partici- pants can register online or by mail.
