Catalog Submission - Members Only
Submit new or updated Information to the Local Artists Catalog.
The Local Artists Catalog is a free service for all of our members. Membership is $25 a year and includes both tangible and intangible benefits. For more information and to apply, please visit the Contact/Join Page! All art forms welcome.
Members: Please submit this from AND the following photos:
(1) photo of yourself in your art-related field (i.e. you painting, you singing, you acting, etc).
(1+) photos of your work. This is particularly important for visual artists (so people can see your style, etc), but it’s also good for musicians and thespians as it helps your audience have a sense of what your gig setup, costuming, etc looks like.
Submit these to the Arts Council email. Please contact us if you don’t have that email on file.
