New Arts and Culture Electronic
Newsletter Launched
A new monthly calendar of arts and culture events has been launched in Collingwood. Tara Mazza, Coordinator, Arts & Culture for the Town of Collingwood, says "Arts & Culture Collingwood" is a free monthly electronic calendar of upcoming arts and culture events and activities.
Mazza is asking arts and culture groups to submit their information to her by email or to put the event information on the Town's website calendar. Then, the information will be worked it into the new electronic calendar to be distributed to her growing list of contacts.
Any interested organizations wanting more information about this new Town of Collingwood service can contact Tanya Mazza at The Station, or email her at tmazza@collingwood.ca.
Tanya is also asking for comments to help grow the online calendar. "I'll be testing it out for the next couple of months. There may be some kinks along the way" she said. "Feedback is most welcome."
