Artists,

It’s that time of year again when we send out our invitation to participate to
our Calgary Art Walks!  This year, we will be hosting 4 Art Walks on the first
Thursdays of June, July, August and September (part of First Thursdays).
That’s June 7, July 5, August 2 and September 6.  Once again, they will be held
on the pedestrian street Stephen Avenue.  It’s $100 to participate — unless you
sign up for all 4 Art Walks, then it’s $75 per Art Walk.

Last year, we had a remote debit / credit card machine to service the artists
with, so that they could accept more than “cash only”.  It worked out really
well, added sales to artists and it was a simple process to keep track of each
artist’s sales and then send them an email money transfer afterwards.

The July Art Walk was our busiest.  We were spilling into 2 blocks for the first
time and it was great to interact (and sell to) the many tourists who were in
town.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Julie Chandler
