Ads in GAS Classifieds:

Classified ads are free to current GAS members, who may e-mail them to with the words CLASSIFIED AD in the subject line.

For non-members, there is a $25 fee for a maximum of 250 words + one jpg. There is no deadline.

Classified ads appear on a members-only page of the GAS website. New classified ads are e-mailed in a weekly digest to GAS members. Links to the classified ads appear in GASnews.

To reserve a classified ad, please fill out and return a signed Classified Ad Reservation Form, indicating payment method.

Journal

The Journal is a printed, keepsake publication that documents our annual conference through text and photos. It is mailed in the spring to all current members (and to those who attended the conference), and back issues are ordered throughout the year by individuals, libraries, and schools. It has become an invaluable document of the progress and evolution of contemporary glass art. It is also available for download and viewing on the GAS website.

To reserve an ad in the Journal, please print and fax (206-382-2630) or mail in a signed 2011 GAS Journal Reservation Form. Please note that the 2011 GAS Journal (Seattle conference) is published and mailed in the spring of 2012.

Deadline: Digital art and payment in full due August 30, 2012.

Web Ad

GAS web ads  appear on the Glass Art Society homepage, as well as on many other key webpages at www.glassart.org. Limited to six (including one for GAS itself), ads scroll continuously. Readers may click through to the URL of your choice. You may provide either an ad or simply your logo. Ads run from early April to late March.

Ad rates, deadlines, and design specs can be found on the Web Ads form. Please contact the GAS office to learn whether any Web Ad spaces are currently available.

Marketplace—The Glass Resource

Marketplace is designed to put glass resources front and center, easy to find and easy to use. It is open to those providing services, equipment, and supplies to glass artists, including publications and organizations. Marketplace ads run March through February, but can be pro-rated for those who have missed the beginning of the cycle.

To see a sketch of what Marketplace will look like, please click here. To learn about rates, deadlines, and specs, please review the 2012 Marketplace form.

Conference Program Book

All conference delegates receive this vital booklet of 80–100 pages that includes the conference schedule, presentation abstracts, presenter bios, Technical Display information, and more.

The Program Book only allows for 8 pages of advertising. (Not included in this figure are messages from our sponsors.) Ads may be purchased on a first-come, first-served basis, with Tech Display participants getting priority before February 16, 2012. Ad rates, deadlines, and design specs can be found on the Program Book Ad form.

Conference Tote Bag Inserts

The Glass Art Society “Bag Insert” program offers the opportunity to provide promotional collateral for distribution to all conference delegates via the conference tote bag for $500. Bag inserts are typically one-sheet flyers or single postcards. There are some restrictions. Production of promotional collateral is the responsibility of the advertiser. The quantity required varies from year to year, between 800 and 2,000. Please contact GAS after April 1 for the most up-to-date projection of quantities required.

To reserve a spot in the conference tote bag, please complete and return (via fax, e-mail, or mail) the Bag Insert Reservation Form.


PLEASE READ OUR FINE PRINT:
You will be billed for any extra designer or printer time required for your ad if it is submitted incorrectly. This applies to all GAS publications. Thank you for understanding. For payment options please click here.

The Glass Art Society reserves the right to deny applications for Technical Display, advertising participation, GAS membership or the conference from anyone for any reason.
