Advertisers
in this publication:
Please help support The Artist's Journal
The Artist's Journal is a private enterprise, a home-based business
operated by one person (with no staff).
This publication is not an Arts Organization and, therefore, is not a non-profit eligible for government grants and assistance. In addition, Arts Organizations can have several income sources: donations, membership fees, art competition entry fees, admission fees at events, fees for workshops and lessons, etc. However, The Artist's Journal has only two sources of income to cover its business expenses: income from paid advertising and the (optional) fee from the New Call Notices. But 'monetary' assistance is not all The Artist's Journal requires to survive: There are other cost-free ways you can help to support and ensure this publication continues . . .
Four ways to support
this publication . . .
-
Advertise. If you are an art business or service, please consider advertising – even if it's just a small Classified Ad. It will be seen by hundreds of artists throughout the province.
-
Opt-in for New Call Notices. This paid service is worth it for the convenience of knowing when a Call for Entry is newly posted. However, if you don't care to have your inbox filled with New Call Notices (and there are many!), please consider using the New Call Notices payment link to make a donation instead. Be sure to e-mail me that you are 'donating' and not to add you to the New Call Notices recipient list.
-
Send me your Calls for Entry. Being a source of Calls for Entry is the main purpose of The Artist's Journal. And having it well-stocked with Calls will ensure its popularity and success. I appreciate your sending your Art Shows as well. But this is, first and foremost, a Calls For Entry publication: It's only the Calls that I obsessively search for, and I am very grateful for those who make my job easier by voluntarily sending them. There is no cost to publish your Call, and there is no 'submission deadline.' Calls are posted right away.
-
Please submit your Art Shows and Exhibits in the proper format. This last request will help me retain my sanity by keeping the workload of this publication to what one person can handle. I do not care how, or in what format you submit your Call for Entry. But please, please, submit your Art Show or Art Exhibit only in a typed format that is easy for me to transfer into the publication -- and 'worded' similarly to those posted in the Shows and Exhibits column. If not, sorry, but it may not be published. I am overwhelmed, spending far too much time reformatting, retyping, and often searching for missing information in the Art Shows submitted to me. I have a busy career in another industry and therefore scramble to find time to produce The Artist's Journal. I need to spend that limited time on the Calls for Entry, the main priority of this publication. Thanks for your help! If you need assistance writing your submission, download this guide.
Sincerely,
Eve Lees, editor/publisher
