Final Deadline Approaching for SCI Woburn's Art and Culture Directory and Calendar
Submitted by Scott on Wed, 02/11/2009 - 3:12pm.
Last reminder! The final date to enter information to our website is fast approaching! We are close to wrapping up a list of all artist and culture-related events in the Woburn area to be put into an artist directory and calendar that will be released later in the spring. We strongly encourage any artist, in whatever medium you may prefer, to register on our website here. Our deadline for getting all entries into the directory is March 15th, so please sign up as soon as possible! Once you are registered, you can list your information in our artist directory. We are also preparing to print a calendar as well to help inform people about different artists or cultural events, so if you think your event qualifies, please post it to our community calendar and get it out there and recognized! And make sure to categorize it as an arts and culture entry. It's a great way to advertise about your program, as well as bring people in the community together. read more »
