[TAM_LogoBlack]Call for Arts Activities 18th Annual Tacoma Arts Month October 1- 31, 2019 Will you be hosting an arts event in October? Do you want to contribute to the arts programming offered in Tacoma, build community, and benefit from free publicity? Submit your arts activity for inclusion in the 2019 Tacoma Arts Month online calendar! The Tacoma Arts Commission is seeking submissions of arts activities happening during Tacoma Arts Month this October. We are looking for a variety of activities spanning all categories of art and culture including but not limited to music, visual art, literary art, dance, theater, and film. If you will be hosting an exhibition, performance, class, workshop, reception, lecture, tour, artists' market, celebration, meeting, presentation, or any other programming, let us know. We will list your arts event in an interactive and searchable online calendar of events on tacomaartsmonth.com<http://tacomaartsmonth.com/>. There is no cost to you. We will be promoting the many events going on throughout the month through newspaper and magazine advertisements and articles, electronic newsletters, television ads, radio ads, and through a variety of social media outlets. This month would not be possible without the participation of local businesses, organizations, and community members. We encourage you to participate by hosting your own arts activity or event. The deadline for the first round of submissions is August 5, 2019. We will accept activities on a rolling basis after that but submitting your information by August 5th will ensure that your activity is included in the first round of information that will go out. To Qualify: Your arts activity must be located within the City of Tacoma limits and occur during the month of October. To Participate: Fill out the online submission form via Submittable: https://tacomaarts.submittable.com/submit.
