***What is Arts & Kids Week?***
Classic FM Arts & Kids Week promotes arts events for children and young people
right around the UK, encouraging children and families to visit their local
cultural venue, be it a theatre, gallery or museum.
Events which take place between the 21 October and 31 December 2006 will be
promoted on-line through http://www.artsandkids.org.uk and
http://www.classicfm.com
Hand-picked events from across the UK and taking place between 21 October and 11
November will also be promoted on air by Classic FM during Arts & Kids Week and as
part of Arts & Kids’ media campaign to get more families interested in culture.
***How to get involved***
1)Promote your events online
- Visit the Events for Kids page on the Arts & Kids website
( http://www.artsandkids.org.uk/events )- Click on ‘submit an event’
- Add your event details (this should only take 5 minutes)
- Click submit
2)Promote your events on-air
- Visit the Events for Kids page on the Arts & Kids website and add your event to
the online listings guide (this is essential as the on-air presenters will be
encouraging people to visit the listings guide to find out more about the event,
so your event needs to be there for people to find!)
- Write a short paragraph about your event that clearly explains how great it is.
- Send an email about your event to mailto:artsandkidsweek@artsandkids.org.uk by
Wednesday 4 October. Make sure you include the paragraph about your event (40
words), details of any special family offers you have created for Arts & Kids Week
(2 for 1 tickets etc), your contact details and a picture that illustrates your
event. We’ll send you the Arts & Kids logo in return if you ask us.
- (Note – Arts & Kids and Classic FM will hand-pick the events that are promoted
on air. We cannot guarantee that your event will be included.)
