We have updated our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/artisthelp.zapplication.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">artist help center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be searchable and explain all sections of our site more thoroughly. This is the first major overhaul of artist help material in years. In addition to the help center upgrade, we have also released two exciting new features! ZAPP events can now use one application to collect artist and non-artist vendors applications, with the option to collect images for only artists. This would allow an event to collect food vendor applications and artist applications in one streamlined place. We also released a new gallery feature where ZAPP will create an artwork gallery of participating artists that includes their images, names, medium and websites! This feature will be free for 2021 and is optional for artists to participate. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zapplication.org\/event-gallery.php?ID=8168\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See a demo version HERE<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waihoia me ka mahalo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keristiano<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again, WESTAF community of staff and trustees: These past two weeks were abbreviated for me as I was away for a bit reuniting with parents, siblings and children in a more fully-vaccinated world.
