Press Kit
Promote your event!
If you've received funding from the East Central Regional Arts Council (ECRAC) for an art project with an open to the public event you agree that the project will be publicized and advertised throughout the region (the 5 counties of Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, and Pine, unless stated otherwise in the application).
Any publicity (such as news releases, advertisements, posters and programs related to the project) is the sole responsibility of the Grantee.
When promoting the open to the public component of your grant, grantees are required to use the logo(s), funding credit line, and hashtags (for social media use) as found in the Notification of Grant Award (NGA) Contract. Your NGA will include which of these funding credit lines you should be using in all promotions of your project
Below is a list of ECRAC's funding credit lines, logo(s), hashtags and press release tips. If your promotional material requires a high resolution logo for large format printing, contact ECRAC staff at grantinfo@ecrac.org
