Here at Derbyshire Open Arts, we're all working flat out to prepare for this year's event. The brochures are being printed, the posters and flyers are being delivered to us from the printer, the balloons have been ordered and we're contacting venue organisers and artists to arrange distribution of everything!
You can expect to see brochures and other promotional material in libraries, tourist information boxes and many more places from the middle of April.
Social media marketing has started - look out for Meet the Maker posts on Facebook, Instagram and X/Twitter - and print marketing and advertising are being organised.
There's so much to do at this time of year, but we're carried along by the excitement of having 245 artists at 68 venues, and we're really looking forward to this year's event. We hope you are too!
