Facebook & Instagram Post Form

It’s our 40th anniversary!  Whoo hoo!  We want to do something special this year and we’ve come up with an idea that we hope won’t take you too long and that everyone will participate in.  If you don’t have a cellphone or tablet, ask a friend or relative to take this short video.  (Instructions in email sent out)

You can attach your photos and video short below.  It accepts .mp4 and .mov files.  If it gives you an error message with another extension, please let Mary Sullivan know (marys477@hotmail.com) and she will help you.

What we are asking for:

1. Please send one short post with a photo of work that you are working on, or any of the topics mentioned below.  We only need two photos for that post. There are two boxes below, one is for any comments you have about the video you’ve sent, the second is where you type or paste your wording for the images.
2. One or two short videos (no longer than 11 seconds) with you saying the phrase “I’m an artist, of course….” with your part.

Don’t send images embedded into Word documents, just upload images separately.  We give a few ideas below of topics to write about, but different images of work you are going to have for the show that aren’t already on the website are best.  Even if it is a work in progress, people do like to see that.  Please write your sentences in Third Person only.  (i.e.  John Doe loves to paint….)

Please fill in this form by June 30th.  Then we can start promoting the show early.

Thank you!

Social media post ideas

Please write your sentences in third person only. for example, John Doe has always drawn from an early age.

• What started you down the path to your particular art form.
• How do you set up for a show? (image of set up perhaps)
• What is your favourite tool that you use.
• Demonstration of a project or commission. (how it comes together)
• Celebrating small wins with your art.
• Share some guilty pleasures. (what you love most about the art you make)
• What was the most valuable thing you learned in art school? How has it helped you (if you went)
• Who is your mentor and what did they teach you?
• Why do you create art?
• What is your favourite piece you’ve created?
• Why do you work in the medium that you do?
• Where do you create your art?  In the spare room, a studio, the garage.  People are fascinated by the spaces artists work in.  Include a picture of your space, with or without you in it (if you are shy).
