CALL FOR ART!

 

     This is a call to Polk-based artists and art collectives. With the holidays quickly approaching, the Polk Arts & Cultural Alliance wants to encourage the community to purchase unique items created by our local artists. Let us know about your storefronts, galleries, online stores, markets and events where your art is for sale. These listings should only be for the holiday time period. Additionally, you may want to offer gift cards, memberships, or subscriptions - all of which can be purchased as gifts for the holidays.
     Items may include quality ceramics, sculptures, paintings, jewelry, music vinyl's/cd's, artful products, crafts, sewn objects, poetry, videos, gift certificates and more. Storefronts and galleries must be located in Polk County. The campaign for the holidays will run Dec. 1 - Dec 20. This promotion is only available for PACA members. Membership info can be found HERE.

Social Media Campaign Concludes
The Polk Arts & Cultural Alliance wrapped up its "31 Days of Local Arts & Culture" social media campaign to celebrate the amazing arts and cultural opportunities in Polk County. Timed to coordinate with National Arts & Humanities month in October, daily social media posts highlighted local artists and arts and cultural organizations. Be sure to follow PACA on Facebook at @polkartsandculture and Instagram at @polkartsandculture.
Be sure to visit the Polk History Center to view (and bid) on the 2022 holiday wreaths!
