What is E-News ?
E- News provides CARFAC BC members with a way to publicize their events, openings and other member needs such as but not limited to:
- cooperative ventures
- sharing and sale of equipment
- studio space available or needed
E-News also informs members about leads for submissions, cultural politics that may affect them, other art business development information and other important information from the CARFAC-BC, National or other affiliate Boards.
E-News is NOT intended as a place for personal discussion but as an information tool for CARFAC-BC members. Member discussion is possible through our facebook page.

Guidelines for Members
I. Subject Line:
Please add to your message subject line one of the following leading topical words, preferably in capitals:
- SUBMISSIONS
- OPENINGS
- EVENTS
- CULTURAL POLITICS
- STUDIO SPACE
- COPYRIGHT ISSUES
- EQUIPMENT EXCHANGE/SALE
- CRATES
- COURSES
- RESIDENCIES
- GRANTS
Note that other short topics are possible. Please be concise.
If there is specific information from the CARFAC-BC Board, it will be prefaced with CARFAC BOARD INFO.
All messages are reviewed and, if appropriate, are approved for release by the e-bulletin moderator. If inappropriate, the moderator will not approve them for release to the member list.
If a specific message is missing a leading topical word, the e-bulletin moderator will attach a topical word to the messages before they go out to the whole group. The e-news moderator reserves the right to edit these messages for brevity and to edit or exclude a message based on content. So get your point across briefly. It is to your benefit. Very lengthy messages tend to go unread by busy people. Please edit your posting to what is important to you to get distributed.
II. Consider Levels of Technology:
Because people with all sorts of different computers and software will be using e-news, post your messages in plain text (ASCII text) and (no html code). If you do not, the e-news moderator will return messages to you, which will cause your message not to be distributed to members.
III. Attachments:
Please ensure all attachments are in a word document or in pdf format.
