****Attention Artists: Please note that when you update images or video your page will go into an inactive status until someone from the Arts Council can approve the images/video and activate your account again. There is no guarantee that someone will be available to activate your page from Friday at 5pm until Monday at 8:30 am.

Dear Artist,

We are very excited to launch our newly expanded and improved 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. 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
