What Arts Academy provides for you

1) Little stand for no more then three instruments - Arts Academy will provide some desks to put the instruments on; if possible, the Luthers will have to take the right supports for their instruments. Harps makers can expose no more than 2 instruments.

2) Catalogue of the Exhibition - Every Exhibitor will have one personal pages (14,8 x 21 cm.): it will be possible to insert one photo (of an instrument or of the instrument maker), biography, information about the instruments and addresses. The exhibitor have to send us all the material we need for the catalogue within the application deadline, through e-mail (jpeg photo) or by post. Every exhibitor will get a few copies of the catalogue: the catalogue will be disposable for the visitors.

3) Public rehearsal of the instrument (only for guitars)- No more than 15 minutes for each Luthier, in the afternoon of the second and third days. The Luthier can choose a guitarist (but we have to know address and phone number of the guitarist and the Luthier must be sure about the disposability of the guitarist for the two days of the exhibition) or we can provide a guitarist among the higher level student or teachers in Arts Academy. It's possible, within the 15 minutes, to present the own instruments, describing their building and sound characteristics, also using diapositive or drawing on trasparency slides.

4) Plucked Stringed Instrument web portal - Every exhibitor will have a web page including a few photos, biography, information about the instruments, addresses, links to the eventual personal web site and a sound sample.
