Election 2011: ArtsVote Toolkits

Hello Edmonton arts community!  The Canadian Arts Coalition (CAC) has produced a superb ArtsVote Toolkit that we can all use during the ongoing federal election.  We urge you to click on the links, explore and use this information to help you decide who the arts-friendly candidates are in this 2011 election.  PACE will be adding more information as the election proceeds.  In the meantime, here is what CAC has made available to all of us:

As you know, a federal election has been called for Monday, May 2nd. A team of volunteers has assembled a toolkit to help keep the arts on the agenda. Feel free to use these resources and circulate them widely:

  • #artsvotecan twitter hashtag – If you are tweeting about federal election arts issues, we ask that you consider using the hashtag #artsvotecan ? and tell everyone you know to do the same!
  • Social Media Primer – Wondering how to get involved in the social media universe? Here are some tips.
  • Elections Canada – Information on where to vote, what you need to bring and who your local candidates are.


The full toolkit is available on our website: www.canadianartscoalition.com.

 

And, here’s another great tool kit from Access Copyright:

 

Make your own buttons, postcards, leaflets to share your support for the arts in the 2011 federal election

Here’s some material you can use for this purpose:
