Selling Your ARt on Marketplace
“Buy Local”! KLAC Members who are painters, sculptors, photographers, woodworkers, authors, and artisans of all stripes can sell their creative works on our new e-commerce platform, Marketplace. It is an easy system facilitated by the Kawartha Lakes Arts Council’s new website. First, you join KLAC as an Artist Member for an annual fee of $40.00. This entitles you to create your Member Page in our gallery, with up to 10 images of your work, three paragraphs of text and a link to your website, if you have one. These images are sent to KLAC’s email account: kawarthalakesartscouncil@gmail.com. Our digital provider, Barton Creative Co., creates the Member Page usually within 2-3 days of submission.
KLAC Member Benefits Expand
The year 2020 posed challenges for all members of our community – in particular, across Canada, the arts and cultural sector has been hard hit by the pandemic. For KLAC, we had to figure out how a grassroots, volunteer-run arts council could invest in new ways to deliver benefits to our Members, and help sustain our local creative community.
