The North County Arts Network is excited to announce the 2020 promotion of arts and culture covering all of North County, east to west and north to south. October’s Open Your Hearts to North County Arts (OYH) is an annual, month-long campaign in coordination with National Arts and Humanities month. This year, NCAN promotes visual and performing artists that are hosting virtual events and broadcasting them using online platforms bringing the art to you, thus “Home Is Where the Art Is…”
Our goal is to build greater public awareness and community support for the arts created within and provided to North County San Diego in the following ways:
- Through the coordination of our Board’s Arts Leaders, we have motivated visual and performing arts resources to hold events in October.
- On social media sites using #OYH2NCA #Openyourheartstoarts #Northcountyarts
- Via a concerted campaign to announce this promotion, including newsletters, website promotion, social media feeds, e-blasts, videos and word of mouth.
- With additional promotional support provided by Smorgborg, SDVAN, Innovate 78, KPBS, Cal State University at San Marcos, Art Walk Carlsbad, the San Diego North Economic Development Council and the San Diego International Airport Arts Program.
- Studio Ace (EIN # 81-4109420) is the fiscal sponsor for NCAN and 5% goes to its educational programming.
- OYH logo gif was created by Kate Donnelly.
- Our brochure and event collages were designed by Jeff Adamoff.
