This group page is essentially a talking-shop for folks taking part in (or thinking about) Art in the Open.
You can ask questions, get opinions and make suggestions here. But do please remember membership of this group page does not constitute registration for the event. You must do that on the festival website.

A useful discussion has propped up over on The Yanks Group Page, and thought it would be of interest here, to any participants traveling to AIO from abroad. So it's been posted as a discussion on this group page also. If anyone has any further thoughts please add to it, thanks.....

Awesome Lynda! Haven't booked mine yet. After my flight home to TN from CA, I'll have enough air miles to get it free! That's what I have done for the past couple of years. Another round!
