For 2013 the Hants County Arts Council is once again pairing up with our community paper “What’s Going On?” to promote artists, artisans and local businesses with the latest edition of our arts digest.
We
were very pleased with the success of our 2012 publication, a compact
folded 17”x22” newspaper style format, which allowed us to include not
only a detailed catalogue of our members but also a labelled map of
studio and gallery locations, samples of artwork, a HCAC Newsletter, a
Calendar of Events and a list of other Nova Scotian Art Societies,
while leaving plenty of room for additional advertising.
This year’s edition of the HCAC Arts Digest will once again be delivered directly to 14, 000 homes in Hants County
with an additional 1000 being distributed locally at art centres,
studios, galleries, boutiques, small businesses, bed and breakfasts,
tourist bureaus and the Stanfield Airport. Each member and advertiser
will receive a sizable number of copies to distribute as they wish.
Additional copies will be also made available for those who are willing
to distribute at their place of businesses and at craft and trade shows.
We
are again seeking additional local artists, artisans, designers,
musicians, galleries, studios and culture related business who want to
be included or to advertise. With such a broad reach, our digest is a
very affordable way to show your support for our local arts community
and at the same time promote your business.
Inclusion is free for HCAC members
and $20 for non-members. Each listing includes your name, address,
phone/email and website address.
Also included is a space for a 40 word
write-up to describe your artistic practice or business. The Hants
County Arts Council is open to all and is not exclusive to artists
residing in Hants County.
If you know of someone who you think would
benefit by becoming a member then please feel free to forward this
information. Membership forms and details on the perks of being a
member are available on our website hantscountyartscouncil.ca
Each member may include a l.75” x 1” full color logo or photograph of their work for an additional $15!
If you have an event planned for 2013 that you would like included in the Calendar of Events
please send along all relevant information and we will include it at no
extra cost. This is a great opportunity to help spread the word about
your event, performance or festival.
You may also choose to increase your visibility by purchasing an advertisement. Please contact us for rates.
We
are also putting a call out to artists for images to be included on the
cover of the digest. If you are interested in having your work seen by
15,000 people, then please send two or three high-resolution photographs
of your work to us for consideration at hcacartsdigest@gmail.com
Please mail any payments to Hants County Arts Council Box 905 Winsdor, NS, B0N 2T0
