HAMILTON ARTIST DIRECTORY CREATES EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL ARTISTS.
Hamilton Community Arts Council is excited to announce a new initiative to provide Hamilton artists with a tasteful and affordable alternative to gallery space.
The Hamilton Artist Directory offers Hamilton artists a unique opportunity to gain exposure and recognition within the community, connecting them with potential clients.
Artists can list themselves in the directory for a nominal fee. The directory will then be distributed among galleries, art enthusiasts and businesses within the Waikato region.
This opportunity is ideal for artists who would like to showcase their work and advertise their talent.
There is so much quality artwork to be found around Hamilton if you know where to look, says Tracey Wood, HCAC Arts manager.
“There are so many talented artists in Hamilton, we want to provide them with another opportunity for their work to be seen and sold.” says Tracey Wood.
Few publications are created with the sole purpose of networking Hamilton artists. This directory will be a great investment for them and key to boosting the Hamilton art scene. Hamilton Community Arts Council strongly recommends artists to get on board.
The cost for listing will be $30 per artist. This is strictly to cover printing costs as this publication is non profit and solely for the benefit of the Hamilton art community.
Listing Requirements:
-
You must be within the Hamilton boundary
-
Your work must be classified as ‘fine art’
-
You must provide a Jpeg image of your work and 100 words about yourself as an artist
-
If you are selected to list, payment is required up front
If you are interested in listing, please contact Emma Mayer or Bridget Bisset.
