Workshops Guidelines

The Workshops section consists of editorial listings for not-for-profit groups and paid advertisements placed at a discounted rate by commercial businesses. Due to the special nature of this section, ad content is limited to the listing of specific classes, workshops, and seminars with a concrete beginning and end date. No private instruction or ongoing classes will be accepted, nor will language advertising related goods or services. The deadline for ad placement is Monday at 5pm.

Artvoice does not publish free Workshop listings for commercial businessess, although legitimate not-for-profit groups will be able to continue to utilize this service free of charge. Commercial businesses will be asked to pay a nominal fee, as explained below.

Not-for-Profit Groups (Editorial Listings)

To be considered for a free workshop listing, Artvoice must have on file a copy of your not-for-profit status verification. Although we would prefer edited submissions, Artvoice will accept completed ads, flyers, press releases, or other brief statements that are sent, emailed, or faxed to the addresses below. Because the free content in the Workshops section consists of editorial listings, not advertisements, the specific wording of any listing, as well as the number of issues in which it will appear, remain at the sole discretion of Artvoice. There is no guarantee that any editorial listing will be published, nor that the specific wording with which information has been submitted will be retained. There is also no guarantee that a listing that has been accepted for publication will appear in more than one issue. To guarantee the wording of your listing or to insure its appearance in a specific issue, not-for-profit groups are encouraged to utilize the commercial business rate option detailed below.

PLEASE NOTE: Artvoice does not keep editorial listings on file. When requesting listings similar in content to those that have appeared previously, please resubmit all pertinent information for renewed consideration, with the understanding that previous acceptance does not guarantee renewed publication.

Commercial Businesses (Advertisements)

For a nominal fee of $2.50 per line (a line consists of 30 characters; 4 line minimum), Workshop listings placed by commercial businesses will receive guaranteed placement in three consecutive issues. Artvoice will accept completed ads placed by phone, fax, email, or mail. Pre-payment is required.

When composing your ad, consider each letter, number, space, or punctuation mark as one character (make sure to leave spaces between words). Phone numbers, class dates, and the organization's name will be bold free of charge. Half-full lines are subject to charge, as are phone numbers. Make sure to check your ad the first week it appears; credit for misprint is limited to one insertion. Absolutely no refunds, credits, or discounts given for pre-paid classified ads cancelled mid-run. Ads cancelled prior to their first insertion are subject to a $5 service charge. If Artvoice is able to accomodate ads placed after the 5pm Monday deadline, a $5-$10 service charge will be applied to each individual ad.

If your advertisement/listing satisfies the Workshop section guidelines, send all relevant information to the Artvoice Classified Department, 812 Main St, Buffalo, NY 14202, phone 716-881-6124 (commercial ads only), fax 716-881-6682, or email classified@artvoice.com.
