2012 Cold Spring Arts Annual Open Studio tour  

Cold Spring, 
Nelsonville & Garrison Area Artists invite art lovers into  
Their Working Environment

The success of Cold Spring Arts first open studios held in 2011 has inspired 39 artists to join in CSA's 2nd annual Open Studio event. This free weekend event has been created by artists for art lovers and collectors to expand awareness of the vibrant artistic community thriving in the inspiring Hudson Valley towns of Cold Spring and Garrison. A preview reception and group show on Friday, October 12th, from 5 to 8 p.m. will kick off the event. Artists will open their spaces to the public from 12 pm to 6 pm on Saturday, October 13th and Sunday, October 14th, 2012. 
___________________________________________________ 
The group show, featuring one work from each artist, will open at Philipstown.info at 69 Main St., Cold Spring.  Representing a diverse range of styles and media, this collection will give visitors the opportunity to choreograph their weekend tour so that they can identify and then visit with the artists that interest them, in the studios where their work is created. 
Maps posted on www.coldspringarts.com will highlight the location of all open studios and will be available at various locations in the village of Cold Spring, including Houlihan Lawrence at 60 Main Street, the Cold Spring Visitor's Center at the end of Main Street and Garrison Art Center in Garrison. Visitors commuting by Metro-North can choose a walking tour within the village of Cold Spring, where over a dozen artists' studios will be opened to the public; if traveling by car, visitors can map out a drive to seek out the artists who live in the Hudson Valley towns of Garrison and Cold Spring.  
Visitors will have access to local artists in relaxed and informal settings, witnessing the creative process first-hand. Fused Glass artist and founder of Cold Spring Arts and ArtFull Living, Barbara Galazzo understands this: "By going into a studio, viewers get to see what goes on behind closed doors...how the artist's creativity stirs them into action...and the processes involved in getting to the finished product".   The open studio format invites meaningful dialogue between artist and viewer. Whether a collector or an art lover, this is a unique opportunity to discover new talent at the source and purchase works directly from the artist's inventory. Distinct from the often impersonal and intimidating gallery setting, this personal relationship with the artists brings another layer of meaning to any artwork that you choose to live with. 


This year's Open Studio tour features professional artists of national and international renown, working in ceramics, glass, painting, video, installation, printmaking, and sculpture. Highlights include: a rarely seen 18-foot wood-fired Anagama-Norborigama Japanese-style kiln built by Tony Moore; Susan English's luminous poured paintings; Thomas Huber's juxtaposition of images, built up to create a rich, intriguing surface; Carla Goldberg's I Remember series, in which she casts items from her childhood in a 3-dimensional translucent resin, fixing the memory in time; Jaanika Peerna's stunning nature-inspired abstract drawings and installations; Julie Tooth's paintings which reference the myriad influences affecting us at all times and which she describes as "an attempt to realize the influences we see and feel, be they natural or man-made"; Alex Uribe's profound sculptures, made from recycled and revitalized materials long before "Green" was in vogue; and Lesli Uribe's paintings which encompass a global language introducing, perhaps subliminally, the idea that we are all creators. 
The Cold Spring and Garrison 2nd Annual Open Studio event occurs at the beginning of fall foliage season - an opportune moment for visitors to experience the natural beauty that has long attracted artists to the Hudson Valley region. The area will also be host to other exciting art events on the same weekend, including "CURRENT 2012", a sculpture exhibition presented by Garrison Art Center on the grounds of Boscobel House and Gardens; Collaborative Concepts @ Saunders Farm, a sculpture exhibition of over 70 sculptures; both located in Garrison, NY; the Van Brunt Projects @ The Living Room among works being shown includes the Starn Brothers; and The ArtFull Living Designer Show House showcasing 37 Hudson Valley artists works and collaboration with 7 interior designers.

Phone Interview with Vimeo's Jeremy Boxer: Release of Tip Jar and Pay-to-View

VIMEO ANNOUNCES OPEN PLATFORM FOR CREATORS TO EARN MONEY FROM THEIR VIDEOS 

See our above per release telephone interview with Jeremy Boxer taped September 18, 2012. 
Vimeo® announced September 23rd. two new features that enable creators to earn money from their films and videos. Available now, Tip Jar allows viewers to show their appreciation to creators by voluntarily contributing money to support their work. Over the next several months, Vimeo will also roll out an open pay-to-view service that allows creators to sell their work behind a paywall.
Vimeo’s focus on quality and creativity has allowed it to become one of the Web’s top 10 distributors of video online1 with more than 75 million monthly unique visitors2 and one of the world’s largest creative networks with over 13 million registered members. Vimeo’s introduction of Tip Jar and its upcoming pay-to-view service provide a clear path for video creators to build businesses around the films and videos they create. 
1 June 2012 Comscore 
2 August 2012 Vimeo Internal via Google Analytics 
“Empowering creators to make money from their videos is a logical next step for Vimeo as a service and an opportunity to expand the overall marketplace for video creators and viewers,” said Vimeo CEO Kerry Trainor. “Established creators and emerging talent alike can connect directly with their audiences without the need to conform to industry standards around video format, price or timing releases.” 
Vimeo’s Tip Jar enables video creators to crowdsource funds to support works directly from their viewers. Tip Jar will allow anyone to give tips before, during or after watching a video; Vimeo will pay 85 percent of the gross revenue to the creator. Starting today, Vimeo Plus or Pro members can choose to activate Tip Jar. 
Vimeo’s pay-to-view service will be an open platform for video creators to sell access to their films and videos. Expanding on traditional rental and Video On Demand models, Vimeo’s pay-to-view service gives creators customizable options to sell their films and video content directly to their audiences and provide control over pricing, rental duration distribution location and other settings. Vimeo will begin rolling out its pay-to-view service in beta preview this fall with a curated series of films. Vimeo will make the pay-to-view service available to all Vimeo PRO subscribers in early 2013.
“Creators have asked us for quite some time to help them monetize their work, but we think it needed an approach that put the controls back into the hands of the creators themselves,” said Dae Mellencamp, President of Vimeo. “We designed these tools to allow video creators to be as flexible as possible while providing the ability to financially succeed at various levels of viewership.”
