THE INTERNET IS EXPANDING

IT's TIME WE SPREAD OUR WINGS
( A little further --! )

A generous offer to our member societies
From February 2010
Our Annual Subscription of £30 becomes due on the 1st April.

Here's an offer of an extra service to member societies and individual artists (who take out a full subscription), to book a page on our website.
We have now completed the move of our website operations from the title of 'Artsinbarnet' to http://www.barnetarts.org.uk

During the last two years almost all member societies have set up their own website, so emphasising the shift from publicising individual events, to acting as a link from our web site, by a listing.

Your website with Headlines.

We would like to offer member societies, (and individual artists paying the full annual subscription) their own web page on the BBAC website for £30 for a period of 4 months at a time, or £75 for a full page that remains unchanged for a year (This is half the price offered to our advertisers and commercial companies).

Somewhere on your web page there will be a direct link to Your Own Web Site (if you have one).
This will give you two chances of getting your site noticed.
Because of this direct link, you could also get a higher rating on search engines, such as Google.
We can supply your organisation with regular figures of Web Space activity.

We have the benefit of help from Barry Ainsworth who is an experienced webmaster and film-maker, and we can now become much more ambitious on what we display on our website.
(He can edit your material if necessary).
This is shown in the clips of Local Festivals, and Barnet Street Fair, and the video of our   Autumn Art & Information Exhibition   held at The Spires Shopping Centre Barnet 2009.
Our web page visitors has risen from around 2000 to 22000 per month, which now includes a good spread of visitors from across the world.

if you do not have your own webspace we will continue to show the All Saints telephone number as a contact point, and redirect enquiries on your behalf.

Contributors may like to offer some components that Barry can put together.
These can be static pictures, audio, video, or script. The choice is yours.

The usual full membership subscription of £30 will continue to allow for inclusion in the quarterly Barnet Arts magazine as before, a normal listing of Member Societies, Events, Hotels, and Individual Artists.

The Art Club - Edgware kindly sponsor 5000 printed copies each quarter which is distributed to members, libraries and art centres in the London Boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Enfield, Harrow, Haringey as well as Hertfordshire.
The magazine is also E-mailed to most schools in Barnet Borough and many free copies are given out at festivals and other arts orientated events and areas.

Pressure on space has mounted with our increased membership, and the increasing popularity of the publication.
As you can see it is not usually possible to offer more than one line or a very condensed notice of events in the printed version.
The Web Site is a lot more flexible.

The next magazine deadline is 30th April.
