Goodness NO! Never!  There is NO such Requirement!  Only those who already have a good relationship with their neighborhood businesses, or those who wish to make money or have a better relationship with their community, may choose to voluntarily solicit advertising. The Alliance is simply offering this as another tool for the league/artist to become [...]

POSSIBLE OPTION: for this Tour, our Alliance is offering to any artist or league the opportunity to ask your community businesses to advertise in the Tour catalog, and you receive a commission for those ads or sponsor packages.

Yes! The artist can contact the AAA Studio Tour Team if they have their own studio, and to find a studio to display with if needed, or find a studio on their own to share space

No, some leagues are not organized to do this type of an event or may choose to not participate. We can expect that a majority of the leagues will be participating
