This guide was produced by Fanny Martin (Art of Festivals) for the Community Presenters’ Network in 2019-20, thanks to support from SPARC’s Collaborative Community Initiatives Program. It is meant as a introduction to arts & culture advocacy, targeted at the types of presenters who participate in the CPN: generally, operating small venues or series in smaller, non-urban communities.
