Last year we helped make Gloucester the number 3 Arts Destination In the Country in American Style Magazine. This is something we already know obviously but really don’t we deserve to be number one?
With your help and vote it helps the entire community by supporting our local artisans and allowing them another feather in their marketing cap to come visit, check out our vibrant art community and leave some cheddar behind 
Like the picture they used in the postcard announcing the contest? You may recognize it as one of mine. Claire Higgins at seARTS did a bang up job with the design.
Anyway lets support our local artists by voting!
Click on the button below to go vote, and thank you for supporting Gloucester and the arts!
I just checked out the contest and it’s easy peasy lemon squeezy. Not to mention you could win five hundred dolla yo!
Let’s Do This!
Here’s the presser from seARTS who with Kristine Fisher and Jackie Ganim DeFalco have been responsible for putting this initiative into play from the beginning.
2012 American Style “Top Arts Destination” Campaign Kicks Off
In 2011 seARTS, working with the arts community, secured the nomination for Cape Ann/Gloucester as a Top 25 Arts Destination by American Style Magazine. Thanks to your votes, we won the #3 spot on the list for small U.S. cities. Voting time is here again, and this year, we want to aim for the #1 spot and increase our visibility as an arts destination.
Securing Gloucester/Cape Ann on this list again this year as one of America’s Top 25 Arts Destinations will elevate Cape Ann on the national stage. We have over 2,000 working artists on Cape Ann and a thriving community that celebrates the arts of all disciplines. After all, our Rocky Neck is the country’s oldest continuous working art colony in the U.S. while Rockport draws visitors all year long!
To achieve this distinction, seARTS is requesting the entire community’s help in spreading the word. This is a city-based ranking, but all of Cape Ann was included in the destination information submitted and the article in the magazine.
There are many ways to help before March 3. Here are some suggestions!
1. Go in right now and vote from your computer, your phone, and your laptop! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3YYDSTL
2. Put the link and/or icon at the bottom of all your emails in the signature line!
3. Use the promotional postcard jpeg in your literature and emails: http://bit.ly/ypN3y0
4. Link to the voting icon http://bit.ly/A3MD3D
5. Blog & Tweet the Survey Link
6. Share with your employees
Having this designation gives all of the cultural organizations and artists and businesses a chance to embed the Award in all their literature and promotion around Cape Ann as a branded arts destination. Please contact seARTS to find out more about how you can do this. info@searts.org 978-281-1222.

Not sure what I am doing wrong,but I’ve tried to vote several times now and don’t seem to be getting to the right place, even when I follow all the suggested links in the post and in Damon’s message above.
Can anyone help me get to the right place to vote????
Thanks!

I have no idea what you’re doing wrong. The links work for me. What type of computer are using?
If you click the square grey box with the check mark does that bring you there?

I’m having the same problem, even when I tried to go directly to http://www.americanstyle.com…I click on the Vote for favorite Arts destination and it just brings me back to the American Style home page like an endless loop. I only tried in IE, I’ll try Firefox.
