BE SEEN ON THE WESTCHESTER ART COUNCIL’S WEBSITE

If you have not done so already, please take this opportunity to get your free page on the Westchester Arts Council’s Online Directory of Westchester Artists

As a participating artist, you will receive a page on our website, searchable by name, discipline, or keyword. This listing can include your background as an artist, your contact information, a link to your website or email address, and one digital image.

The Arts Council promotes this multi-discipline directory to arts consumers, including arts patrons, galleries, and arts organizations through our own publications as well as through promotional campaigns.

Signing onto the Registry is easy. If you are comfortable signing on yourself, please go to http://www.westarts.com/artistlogin to see the guidelines and sign up today! If you feel you need assistance, please contact Sarah Wartell at 914-428-4220 x 225 or swartell@westarts.com for one-on-one technical assistance.

This free service is made possible with generous support from Verizon and the New York State Arts Council. The only requirement is that artists must either live in or maintain a studio in Westchester County. Feel free to pass on the word to your fellow artists.

If you are already on the directory, and received work or other opportunities from patrons who found you on the site, please let us know. We love to hear about your success.
