Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour- Jody L. Miller In an effort to reduce costs, each artist is assigned tasks to perform as part of their contribution to the Prescott Area Artist studio tour.  I had two duties this year.  A delivery route for Studio Tour guide distribution and getting signed contracts for radio station advertising.  My assigned route this year was the Cottonwood, Arizona area.  I managed to coordinate this in to a trip over to the Dragonfly Art Gallery in Old Town Cottonwood where I currently sell my artwork.  I made the trip over with fellow artist, Christy Garavetto.  The tour guide distribution was fun and we even managed to work in dinner with friends at The Muse Bistro.
