Support the Arts & Grow Your Business
Damascus Open Studios is a juried art show and studio tour that brings together local artists, art enthusiasts,
and the greater Damascus community for a three-day celebration of creativity. Our annual event continues to grow, drawing hundreds of visitors to explore studios, meet artists, and support handmade, original artwork.
In 2024, our marketing efforts included:
✔ A newly updated website featuring artist profiles, behind-the-scenes studio photos, and a downloadable tour map.
✔ 5,000 oversized postcards mailed to every residential address in Damascus, showcasing event details, participating artists, and their mediums.
✔ Daily social media promotion on Instagram and Facebook, spotlighting artists and the event. With paid social media advertising in the weeks leading up to the event.
✔ 1,000 standard sized postcards distributed to businesses in Damascus and the greater Portland area.
✔ Targeted email campaign to a dedicated list of art enthusiasts built over nine years.
✔ A visitor incentive raffle to win a $100 gift certificate for attendees who visit every studio.
As a valued sponsor, you’ll help expand our reach beyond Damascus, attract more visitors and create a vibrant
community event. Together, we can support local businesses and strengthen our community
