Cultural organizations must attend the orientation meeting.  The Orientation Meeting/Media Trade Show takes place in September, from 8:30 a.m. - Noon at ArtServe, 1350 East Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale. 

This is a free workshop to learn about the requirements, procedures and guidelines of the Cooperative Marketing Program.  Not-for-profit, Broward-based cultural organizations are encouraged to attend these meeting since the procedures change from year to year.  In addition, media representatives will be available at the Media Trade Show.  If you have missed the meeting, you can contact Byron Swart at 954-462-8190, Ext. 207
 

The follow is a checklist of items that must be submitted before a not-for-profit Broward-based cultural organization can place an advertisement through the Cooperative Marketing Program:

• Participation Guidelines (a form that will be distributed at the Orientation Meeting)

• Eligibility Form (pdf)

• Media Plan Form (front)  (pdf)

• New organizations must submit proof of not-for-profit status including copies of State of Florida articles of incorporation, bylaws, certification of filing with the Secretary of State

• A list of performances, exhibits or events presented by the organizations for the upcoming season.

Placing Advertisements & Insertion Order

All artwork for print ads is due two weeks prior to the publication's deadline date.  Failure to adhere to the due date will result in cancellation of placement.

All accounts must remain paid in full.  A specific due date will be noted on the Insertion Order(pdf)  which must be signed for approval of the date, media and cost of placement.

In the event the organization needs to cancel an ad, the organization must notify ArtServe in writing two weeks in advance of media deadline. The organization will be responsible for full payment of all ads canceled without written notification to ArtServe.

ArtServe will not be responsible for any ads placed directly with the media by a cultural organization.  All copy changes must be received in writing.

The Cooperative Marketing Program has the right to refuse any ads that are considered offensive or are not in the best interest of the Program.
