2021
#1 – March 30, 2021 – Printable Version
We have decided to start sending members a periodic newsletter to keep you informed and up-to-date on what’s new with SAG, remind you of the benefits of membership that you may not be taking advantage of yet, and let you know how you can participate and help us do more to promote you and your art.
I hope you enjoy our first edition and find it useful. If there is something we have left out or you have other suggestions, let me know!
Thanks, Sandi / SAG Social Media, sandradalton@centurytel.net

Artwork from Past Shows on the SAG Website
Did you know that visitors to our website can view the winning artwork for past shows by visiting the Show Pages?
All winners from 2019 and 2020 are on display there, as well as winners of some of the shows from previous years.
Help Us Help You!
Your Artist Page on the SAG Website
Every member has one, but you have to activate it and upload your artwork. Go activate and populate your Artist Page if you haven’t already. If you have already populated your Artist Page, now might be a good time to refresh it with new artwork.
If you don’t know how to activate your page or can’t remember how to update it, request the instruction by sending an email to info@sangresartguild.org.
Social Media
Help us promote you on social media by sending the following to Sandi Dalton at sandradalton@centurytel.net.
Your preferred website link. This can be your SAG Artist Page or another site where you showcase your art. Make sure it is the one you want shared! This can be used to help drive traffic to your art anytime we mention you on our Social Media, including show announcements letting people know who is in the show.
Your achievements. When you win an award or have something else to share about your art – send it to Sandi so she can share it. Generally, a link works if there is a photo of your artwork there. We can also use your own write-up and photo of your artwork.
Work-In-Progress. Are you working on something right now? Tell us about it, include pictures – pictures as you go along are great. We can post this on Facebook and Instagram. Make sure you send that link to your website to include with the post!
Like and follow us on Facebook and Instagram. This helps us tag you when we mention you in posts.
