Colac Otway Arts Trail Invitation to Participate - 17th & 18th March 2018

Colac Otway Arts Trail Registration form
17th & 18th March 2018 Kana Weekend


Dear fellow artist,
We invite you to register to be part of our proposed arts trail for the Kana weekend 2018.

This is a trial Arts trail organised by a small volunteer group to promote the Artists and arts activities in the Shire because we believe there are some incredibly talented people hidden in our shire and some wonderful arts venues that are need of promotion. Just as we believe the Visual arts in general are in need of support and promotion.

At present we are unfunded although we are looking at getting sponsors for some printing of maps and signage.
To make this successful we would love any extra help, advice or recommendations and promotions you might be able to offer
We look forward to your registration and hope we can make this an annual event.
Thank You
The Colac Otway Arts trail Committee
