ADDING YOUR EVENT

Posting your event is easy using this online form! Your submission here will populate the Upstate California Creative Corps event calendar. There is a submission approval process, so PLEASE ALLOW at least one full business day for your event to appear. 

EVENT DESCRIPTION: 

In the spirit of further improving the visibility and impact of your events, we would like to draw your attention to the importance of event descriptions in providing context, clarity, and purpose for your audience. Please consider the following when submitting event descriptions:

  1. Context: Provide context for your event by mentioning how it relates to your programs ultimate mission/goals, the partners, the facilitators, etc. Illustrate the bigger picture for your audience.

  2. Program Goal(s): Clearly mention your project’s program goal(s). Help your audience understand the significance of your Creative Corps project as a campaign of awareness. As a reminder, your project should be promoting one or more of the following:

    • Civic engagement

    • Public health

    • Environmental issues

    • Social justice

  3. Acknowledgement: Let your audience know how and why your project is being supported. Please acknowledge the California Arts Council and Upstate California Creative Corps as outlined in the Acknowledgments One-Sheet.

This information needs to be included in the text that accompanies your promotional materials, not just in the graphics or flyers themselves.
