Using the Arts Festival Branding

A number of groups are finalising their arrangements and thinking about promoting their activities, so may I remind you to send over the details so that we can make sure our programme remains up to date. We have a growing Events Listing on the web site. Also, please add the Arts Festival branding to any publicity materials you create. Drop me a line when you get to that stage and I can send over a file of logos in various formats. We would really like the logo, the website and the social media details shared as widely as possible please. The organising team will be in Cheadle Library again a few more times if you want to drop in for a chat. Please keep us up to date with your plans. 19th March 23rd April 14th May Meanwhile, artists and groups are not able to register online to take part in the Open Arts Exhibition and High Street Gallery events.
