a. If you provide a photo, please include photographer credit and/or permission in your email
b. Please think about the magazine as a vehicle for storytelling, and not a simple listing of your program or classes. For example, a director’s intention in programming a show’s theme is more interesting to read than a simple listing of pieces being performed. If you need help in creating content, please set an appointment with AQ well before deadline.
c. Content for the magazine can only come from Arts Quincy Partner Organizations. - Sponsor Listings
a. Arts Quincy will include up to 3 major sponsors in a thank you paragraph at the end of any article.

c. Arts Quincy will print feature articles on events which are also fundraisers if they satisfy the following criteria:
- Are mission driven

- Have high educational or artistic merit
This determination will be made by Arts Quincy staff and/or board on a case-by-case basis. - Cover/Feature Selection

- How recently the partner has been featured on the cover
- Quality of editorial content provided
- Impact to underserved communities (Defined as low-income residents, seniors, differently-abled, minorities and veterans)
If a Partner Organization has an event that they would specifically like to be considered for a cover story or 2-page feature, they may submit a written request for consideration as far in advance as possible. A request is not a guarantee of cover or feature.
Please note: if you have an annual event that you’d like considered for a future cover, it is advisable to photograph your event with next year in mind. The magazine cover features a vertical layout and requires “head space” with room for our banner across the top. Contact us if you have questions about how to shoot for AQ Covers.
