The Delaware Division of the Arts updates its online Artist Roster.
The Delaware Artists Roster is for those who exhibit, perform, or present programs throughout Delaware and the wider mid-Atlantic region. It features 262 artists, and is accessible at the Delaware Scene website.
Event producers throughout the mid-Atlantic can consult the Artist Roster for First State performers, musicians and visual artists. While the Division does not jury the artists, those included in the roster meet basic criteria.
Some popular features of the former Artists’ Roster remain, but the update adds increased opportunities for connection. DDOA artist programs and services officer Roxanne Stanulis says artists now have more control.
“They can include larger files, more links to social media, and the previous roster just started to look a little dated - we had an issue with some of the image sizes being very small, so that was something that was addressed in the new Roster.”
Artists on the roster increasingly rely on collaborative events, and the new web portal expands the possibilities according to DDOA marketing and communications program officer Andy Truscott.
“They can integrate their events on the Artist Calendar with their Artist Roster, and so their Roster Page can be an all-encompassing calendar, bio and resource page for the artist all in one.”
Artists interested in appearing in the Roster must first create an account on the website. Criteria for approval include Delaware residency and fee information, booking arrangements and a history of confirmed performances, exhibits or events in the recent past.
