List Your Event in ACP 12

To get started, you’ll need your event, artist & venue info. You’ll need a large jpg, between 1000 and 3000 pixels on its longest side. Like last year, we’ll be displaying each listing chronologically by date of the main event, so we recommend that your main event occur between mid-September and October 31st.

The ACP Festival Guide is a free guide, available in print and online, which offers a complete listing of the more than 150 exhibitions and events that take place during the month of October. It lists all ACP programs, as well as all participating venues, which include commercial and non-profit galleries, museums, colleges and universities, artists’ studios, cafes, and other alternative spaces. The Festival Guide provides locations, dates, times, as well as artists who are being presented at all venues. The 15,000 printed copies will be freely distributed by a network of dedicated volunteers and will be available at all participating venues, as well as area schools, libraries, bookstores, cafés, and various retail establishments. Online guides can be downloaded for free. The ACP 12 Festival Guide will be available mid-September.

Here’s a quick FAQ for artists who are want to participate in ACP, and another FAQ for venues. We’ll be open for listings through June.

To find out when we’re ready, make sure you’re on our email list. We’ll let the list know first, and we look forward to hearing about what event(s) you’re planning for ACP 12 in October, 2010!
