GAS Online Directory & Resource Guide Advertising In 2007, GAS combined the Resource Guide with the Membership and Education Roster, which created a new, consolidated publication where you can find all of the contact information you need to know about members, schools, products and services. In 2010, GAS will no longer publish a printed version of the directory, and it will be published online only. The GAS Online Directory and Resource Guide is a great opportunity to present your products or program to a target market that members will refer to all year. Used year-round by GAS members, the GAS Online Directory and Resource Guide also features a collection of advertisements from artists, museums, galleries, schools, manufacturers and suppliers of glass-related goods and services from around the world. The 2010 version of the directory will feature full color advertisements for all advertisers (previously ads were restricted to black and white only), as well as it will be interactive and visitors to the online directory will have the opportunity to click on your ads and be brought to your website via a link. Even if you do not attend the GAS conference, you are still able to advertise in the directory. For ad rates and specifications, or to make ad reservations, please contact the GAS office, or check the GAS website at www.glassart.org. Deadline: April 30, 2010: Digital art (emailed in PDF or JPEG format) for Resource Guide ad and full payment due to the GAS office.
