Greetings!
New ideas tend to spring up this time of year, so it was no surprise that attendees at our most recent monthly Art Marketing Forum inspired us to add some new items to the roster of CAP member benefits. Beginning this month, we're encouraging our member artists of all disciplines to let us know where you're showing your work, where you're performing, etc. If your art is being seen by the public, send us a brief email with the Where, What, When, and Who and it will be added to the "Members in the News" section at ArtsPartner.org.
You may also notice in this issue of the ArtsLetter that our "Calls for Artists" section continues to grow. If you have a regional opportunity looking for artists, be it a juried show of visual art, a casting call for an upcoming production, or a call for works of literature for a journal or publication, please let us know at least one month in advance, and we'll add it to the column here and on ArtsPartner.org.
I'm starting this issue with these two items in particular to showcase one of CAP's primary goals: to ensure our
community's artists can continue to call Tompkins County home. At a time when jobs and job creation are on everyone's thoughts and lips, CAP wants to remind the public that the need for employment exists in the arts as well. Our arts community is made up of
individuals. Unlike the natural resources that provide the
scenic beauty of our region, it is truly human resources that make
the arts in Tompkins County so special.
Thanks for doing your part to make sure it continues to be that way!
Cheers,  Brett Bossard, Executive Director P.S. If you haven't already, use the link at left to become a FAN of CAP on FaceBook. One more way to keep you informed! |
