Our quarterly newsletter, the Cultural Connection has changed
its format. We have switcheded to a text-based format,
with the events calendar reproduced in a style that should make
it easier for you to find the events and the times you're looking
for. Classes and events are broken down by category and all
sections are listed by date. Newsletters will go out every three
months in December, March, June and September. Deadline is the
last day of the previous month.
Our Newsflashes have changed as
well. We will require you to download
and fill out a printable PDF and your announcements
must be in by deadline for them to be published. The Newsflashes
will go out once a week on Tuesdays. Deadline is the previous
Friday at 5:00 p.m.
Because of the costs of maintaining the website, newsletter
and newsflashes, and because our funding has to go towards our
programmes designed to help and support our local artists, we
must begin charging for insertions. At $25.00 per insertion
for members and $50.00 for non-members, we are still well under
the cost of a newspaper ad, and we publish to a very targeted
market. Our membership comprises artists, collectors,
performers and audience members in all disciplines, and in this
year alone our numbers have tripled. Your events and promotions
will be received by an audience that truly appreciates what
you're doing.
