The Cambridge Studio Tour requires "all-hands-on-deck" participation. Voluntary effort is absolutely necessary to keep fees at a reasonable rate.  Some volunteer duties include: Securing Sponsors, Brochure and Poster Distribution, Social Media posting, Tour kit pick up, etc. 

Image and Document Uploads

You will need to upload the following digital files:

• Three (3) images of your work
• Proof of Liability Insurance

You should also be prepared to input your contact information, studio information, artist’s profile and social media links (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). Images must be clear and sharp and representative of the type of work you are intending to show during the tour. Each image file name must include the artist’s name (eg: bob-smith), title (eg: horse-in-barn), media (eg: pen-and-ink), and year (eg: 2022) the piece was created. Include an underscore (_) between each like the example below.

eg: bob-smith_horse-in-barn_pen-and-ink_2022.jpg

Images must be representative of the type of work you are intending to show during the tour. Images must be clear, sharp, and of high-resolution (300 pixels per inch/ppi). These images will be used in the Tour brochure and promotional material. 

Filenames should only include standard characters, numbers, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). No other punctuation (eg: period, comma, semicolon, etc.) or other special characters (eg: #, $, @, ", etc.) should be used in file names. A period should only appear once, just before the three-letter file extension (eg: .jpg, .pdf, .tif, etc.). 

Attention iPhone and iPad users. Newer versions of the iPhone and iPad use a proprietary file format (.heic). You must convert your images to one of the accepted formats (jpg, pdf, eps). You can use an online service such as - https://heictojpg.com/ or https://cloudconvert.com/heic-to-jpg.
