Posting your announcements on the Shipyard Artists website and social media

Send us your announcements. Please add website@shipyardtrust.org and promo@sshipyardtrust.org (for our social media) to your mailing list for announcements or send your news to them directly. We will post them on the website, Facebook, and Instagram as appropriate. We may edit them - to list other Shipyard artists who are in the same show, for example, and to add a link to your Shipyard artist page.

"Artist news" on the website menu lists all announcements together, with the newest first. The newest half-dozen or so (depending on the visitor's screen size) are also featured on the home page.

Each post's category (Art Shows, Classes, Workshops, Announcements) appears at the end of the post; some have more than one category. Visitors can click to see all announcements in that category.

Announcements remain on the website and social media as a historical record unless you ask us to remove them.
