Media Release

2nd Annual Arts and
Culture Directory Underway
MIDLAND
– The Huronia Foundation for the Arts is
launching its 2nd Directory on the heels of a
successful distribution of its first Arts and
Culture Directory.
“The feedback from last year indicates that
people were keeping the directory as a work of
art which means that they also keep the colourful
ads and information on the businesses that support
the arts.” says Pat Robinson, Manager of
the Huronia Foundation for the Arts (HFA). “Our
first directory was designed artistically, illustrating
the HFA’s beginnings symbolically and inspirationally
in Nature, the nature that we all enjoy in Huronia.”
Ms. Robinson went on to say, “The 2010 directory
will have a new feature this year: a special Dining
section, and even more information about what
is happening in the region. It is evident that
the new directory will be equally as creative,
celebrating the arts that we support.”
There is a minimum of 25,000 copies being printed
of which 20,000 will be distributed to every business
and residence in Huronia. Local businesses, galleries
and the Huronia Tourism Association will distribute
another 5,000 copies in kiosks and locations beyond
this area. The directory will be distributed in
mid May.
For further information please contact Marianne
Braid at (705) 756-2884 or hhps1@csolve.net
