If you are a Durango Arts Center member and would like to be on the DAC Artist Directory, please email Maureen May with:

Name; contact info (i.e. address, phone, email); links to your website, blog, gallery or whatever; what kind of work you do (i.e painting, installation, playwriting, flamenco dancing); and an image (i.e. your work, yourself, your dog). A vertical image at this time would be best. Size should be 72 dpi and no wider than 5 inches on any side. It will be a thumbnail image, but at this time it is showing up a fairly good size.

When you list your mediums, please list your preferred medium first, as I will only be able to list you under one category to start with. Once I get further along on getting the directory together, I plan on listing artists under a total of three categories. At this time it is a one-person volunteer operation, so please be patient.

Thank you,
Maureen May
