SJCA Updates Vol. 98
This month is already flying by. Before you know it, we'll all be on Holiday Break!
With so many grant deadlines, events, programs, and more approaching, we want to make sure that you can focus on what matters.
Let us help you promote your work by submitting your events to the event calendar and emailing your press releases to info@sjca.net. During the Holiday season, we know promoting your events is one extra thing you have to do, but with the CultureQuest newsletter, events calendar, and social media, we can help give you the boost that you need!
If you have the time, we have some professional support opportunities for you this month. You can talk with us directly, explore marketing woes and solutions, attend an artist meet-up, or connect with local history organizations about relevant industry topics.
We're here to support you as you continue the important work you do!
