adding an A/Artist event to the website

a step-by-step plan

This is a step-by step guide to adding a new event to the A/Artist blog, specifically about adding events for the regular A/Artist public events. 

To add a new event, go to your profile and select “+Event“, then fill in the information for the new event. 

Notes for filling in information: 

  • Choose a title that describes the theme of the discussion. 
  • Select the A/Artist content group
  • Fill in your date and time (the time is usually 17:30-20:30)
  • under “organised by“, select “Mediamatic Foundation“
  • under “presented at“, select “Mediamatic Biotoop Dijksgracht“ (if it takes place at MM)
  • Write a short summary of the evening and introduction of the speakers. 
  • If the speakers don't have a profile page on the website, create one for them. Include their photo, bio, and relevant website. 
  • Include nice imagery of the speakers work (with proper credits). 
  • Ticket price and ticket link in the introduction.

Once you have created your event, add it to the A/Artist event calendar by clicking “admin“ on the events page. Under the tab “contains“, you will see all the events which are listed on the page. Click “+add“, search for your new event, and add it to the list!

Make sure that you drag it to the right spot after adding, so that the dates are in order. 

Finally, you can also add your event to the main page of the A/Artist blog by selecting “A/Artist blog“ under “blogposting“ while editing your event. Only do this once you have all the information, pictures, and permissions!
