Although we advertise the event on local calendars and forums, nothing is as effective as your social media to get your people excited and coming out to enjoy this creative event. 

Please steal these images and blurbs below to spread the word about the arts fest. (And feel free to use photos from any page of this website.)  If you can not simply copy and paste or drag and drop the images, a screen shot should do just as well. 

 I will be adding more closer to the event about music, readings and theater.

You can include a link to the public arts fest site whenever and wherever you like:   https://sites.google.com/view/portolavalleyartsfest/home

Images will be updated with the correct DATE when we know what it will be.

Use one every few weeks leading up to the event as on-going reminders, or just choose your style.

"Blurbs"

You will know best how to motivate your friends and followers, but here are some ideas I hope you will find useful. 

I have found it takes several nudges to get people's attention. It continues to amaze me how many Portola Valley people I meet who did not know this arts fest happened last year in spite of 22 postings to our town forum across four months. With that in mind, this is a bare minimum. 

Take it as is, edit with abandon, use it as a prompt or do your own thing entirely. 

The important thing is to do. 

If each of us tells everybody we know, the turnout will be amazing!

Not so short!:

On September 13th, I will be showing at a funky, little event in Portola Valley that I think you will enjoy. I am excited for you to see my new work in this beautiful setting. The PV Arts Fest exists in a unique place between other events you may have attended -- more home-spun and intimate than your average town art festival, and yet it is full of wonderful artists of a higher caliber than your average community art event. It is both a place to buy and to simply celebrate the arts. It showcases arts of all kinds, but at its core, it is an expression of our creative connections to each other. I think you will have fun and hope to see you there.

The Arts Fest is tomorrow from 10:00 to 5:00.  I invite you to a lovely day wandering beneath the redwoods in the grounds of the Ladera Community Church and enjoying all the art on display. Taste wines from local vineyards or a refreshing lemonade while the red tailed hawks circle above. Portola Valley’s peace and beauty is a wonderful setting for the creativity of the community. See you there.
