Martha,
In Austin, "In the Galleries" was organized to do this, but only
includes museums and galleries, not individual artist studios. There is
a new brochure printed regularly with map, address, and hours for
participating venues, and the brochures are available at all of those
venues.
Here's the web version:
http://www.inthegalleriesaustin.com/
Additionally, the web page has info on openings, events, etc.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Regional Arts Maps
I may have the opportunity to become involved in a project to produce a
regional arts map for several localities in my area. The idea would be
to have local artists, galleries and museums located on a map, with
information about each venue, with the map being distributed to visitors
and residents of the area. Although the localities involved have
already committed money to the project, it is also expected that
artists, galleries and museums will pay a nominal amount to be included
on the map. I am not sure at the moment whether there will be an
Internet component or not.
In order to be better prepared for the project and get some idea of what
other cities, counties, etc., have done, I've done some Web searching,
but have only come up with the one produced by the city of Halifax, Nova
Scotia. Can anyone on the list suggest other places that have done
this, whom I might contact about costs, things to do (or not to do),
etc.?
The Internet version of the Halifax map works very well; it can be found
at http://www.halifaxartmap.ns.ca/index.html.
Thanks very much for your help!
