GO: Voters Registration Kickstarts Artistic Journey

Voter Registration: The Gateway to Artistic Engagement

The canvas of creativity is set to unfurl as voter registration commences on August 1, 2012. Art enthusiasts are invited to partake in a unique artistic odyssey—the GO open studio weekend. For those eager to immerse themselves in the local art scene, this is an exceptional opportunity to witness art in the making and have a say in the spotlighting of burgeoning talents.

How to Register and Participate

Embracing innovation, registrants can swiftly sign up online to become voters in this interactive art experience. From September 8–9, 2012, registered art lovers will embark on a two-day exploration of various artists' studios. With the aid of technology, checking in is a breeze using text messaging, the dedicated GO mobile app, or through the GO mobile website—simply enter the distinct number assigned to each studio.

Studio Visits: A Cultural Tapestry Unveiled

As voters traverse from one studio to the next, their participation molds the cultural landscape. With a minimum of five studio check-ins, voters are then entrusted with the privilege to nominate three standout artists for potential exhibition at the esteemed Brooklyn Museum.

The Path to Exhibition

The journey from studio to museum is a collaborative one. The ten artists who garner the most nominations will receive a visit from the Brooklyn Museum's curators. Careful selection will ensue, with chosen pieces anchoring a special exhibition. This journey culminates in a public showcase, starting on Target First Saturday, December 1, 2012, propelling local artists into the limelight.

Cultural Exploration Meets Leisure Travel

The fusion of cultural pursuit with leisure travel presents a compelling narrative. Art-loving voyagers can transform the GO open studio weekend into an explorative getaway, merging the serendipity of artistic discovery with the pleasure of travel. Tranquil lodging options provide a restful haven between studio visits, allowing guests to reflect on the artwork and the stories behind them. This harmonious blend of cultural enrichment and travel lays the foundation for an unforgettable escape into the world of art.
