Whew!

I apologize things have been so quiet on the blog. It’s the result of a blizzard of activity happening here in the office. With the August 15 deadline passing, the activity has only increased and it looks like it will get busier with only a month to go before Opening Day on Sept 23.

What have we been working on? We’re in the final stages of nailing down a bunch of things many of you have been asking about: Voter Registration Sites and Events being at the top of the list. We’re planning on making those announcements later this week.

I know many venues, artists and local businesses are trying to plan events and print promotional materials. There are two things you should know about as you’re preparing those materials.

LOGO USAGE
There are two pieces ArtPrize provides for people preparing promotional materials for their own events:

1) The wordmark:

2) ArtPrize “Seals” (for artists, venues, sponsors and registration sites):

Artists/Venues can download the seal from your “You” page on artprize.org.

The ArtPrize logo (Orange image above the Capital A) is NOT intended for general use:

We know it’s out there, but we request to please avoid using it, if possible. (Don’t worry about printing all new postcards promoting yourself,  if they’re already done.) Why? It’s the only mark we have to designate official ArtPrize events and materials, like the Opening Night event or Official Program Guide.

NEIGHBORHOOD DAYS

The ArtPrize District will be divided up into five neighborhoods (details coming soon) and we’ll have days for those neighborhoods to organize around. DO NOT WORRY if you planned something that’s not on your neighborhood day. It’s just a way to help people, say, on the Westside pick a day for parties, receptions, special deals at restaurants, et cetera when they’re concerned that their event may conflict with some other big event they don’t know about happening on the other side of town. That announcement is coming soon.

Stay tuned!
