Dear Artist,

We are very excited to welcome you to our on-line artist database. We recommend you update and edit your page at least quarterly. Be sure to use the new "upcoming shows" section which lists venues/events/performances/exhibitions in which you are involved. If you include an "ending date" when setting up these upcoming shows they will automatically drop off of your page when they are over so you will not have to continuously come back to delete the information when a show is over. The Arts Council online artist database is a free service for artists living and/or working in Marion or one of the seven surrounding counties.

I hope you will find many other new useful options in the new database. As always we appreciate your feedback and thoughts on improvement.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,


Shannon M Linker
