A week left to get your submission in. Let us know how we can help you get this on time.
A couple of changes - we are listening and trying to shape this the way you guys want! - we investigated the larger map idea and will be able to print a 17″ x 22″ overall size. This means not only will the map itself be larger but the ad spaces will be slightly larger also - now 2.75″ w x 2.5 h. So your graphic image can be as large as 2.25 w x 1.5 h and still leave room for the 5 lines of text below. The text can now be as much as 35 or 36 characters/spaces instead of the original 30 character/spaces.
A few people have asked for another option, to submit their graphic the full size of the ad with their desired text already on the graphic rather than listed below. So we will accept a correctly sized 2.75 x 2.5, no border, 300 dpi CMYK tiff format for PC - if your ad person can do this for you great or let us know if you need help and we can do for you. We do want to keep a certain uniformity and quality to the overal page so please understand that your submission is subject to approval based on the above format.
And finally, the original idea for the ’studio’ ads, basically a listing, has been revised and will now offer a small photo as well as text. This is an inexpensive option for individual artists - you may want to state the gallery that your work can be viewed in or that your studio is open by appointment or simply ‘visit us at May White Street Walk’ - whatever you want in addition to your name, media, contact info.

Here is an example of the new option for 2.75 x 2.5 ad graphic with no text line listing.

The Tues Oct 10th meeting of artists and gallery owners at Keel’s Creek resulted in a few changes to the timeframe for the two marketing pieces. The deadline for the Map Brochure is now Nov 1st (instead of Oct 25). Anyone wishing to be included in this should complete their orderform, provide their graphic and/or 5 lines of text and pay a 50% deposit right away to reserve their spot - balance of payment due Nov 1st.
After much discussion it was agreed to proceed with the map brochure in a timely fashion and have it available for distribution by the end of November for the Fall Art Show, and to delay the catalog book a few weeks to allow everyone to really have time to develop a quality ad. (An example of the ‘Collectors Guide” from Santa Fe/Taos was passed around to give inspiration of the quality we want to present with our book).
Those wishing to participate in the display ads for the book/catalog must submit their committment for size and include 50% payment by Nov 10th. The ad copy and balance of payment are due by November 30th.
The title for the brochure and book was discussed and a vote passed to revise the name to “Artists and Galleries of Eureka Springs” and not to use any additional subtitle on the cover as originally planned by the committee.
Other than these revised details the projects will move forward as described with Cynthia agreeing to do some further investigation on a possible way to create the map larger so it will have more detail.
Two committees will form: to plan a detailed program for distribution and to review the cover design layout prior to conclusion. Individual advertisers will be asked to sign off on their proof before submission to printer.

There will be a meeting Tues. October 10th at 7:00 pm at Keels Creek Gallery. All interested galleries and artists are encouraged to come and present any questions about the planned brochure and book for Eureka Springs galleries and artists.
Cynthia & Tom of Studio 8 Creations, along with the committee that developed the plans for both marketing pieces (Susan Morrison, Mary Springer, Edwige Denyszyn, Diane Harvey, Lorna Trigg-Hirsh, Sabina Miller) will present the plans outlined at the Sept 29th meeting and open discussion on the timeframe options and participation guidelines so that everyone will be clear and the projects can move forward with the best possible results for everyone.
Your input and participation is much needed - and pass the word to anyone else interested. Thanks.

The Art & Artists of Eureka Springs - Painting ~ Sculpture ~ Fine Crafts
Two new projects have unfolded for Studio 8 Creations. We will be producing two marketing pieces for the artists, galleries and studios in the Eureka Springs area.
The mission (as determined by the artists meeting and followup committee meeting) is to create two very attractive items that can be mailed and handed to our visitors seeking to find the cultural and art districts and galleries as well as locate individual artists and also studios that are open to visitors. The map brochure will be a very effective presentation to locate both downtown galleries and artists and those in the more outlying areas of Hwy 62 and 23 for example. The catalog piece will present the current as well as historical Eureka art community and represent an eclectic and inclusive view of art in Eureka. Both the brochure and the catalog will include a listing of annual arts events.
Here are some specifics on the two marketing pieces that will be available for distribution before the end of November, just in time for the Fall Art Fair & Sculpture Show and all the holiday visitor activity. Read more …
