Rev. Arts Council Seeking New Website Concept Submissions

Revelstoke Arts Council and Revelstoke Visual Arts Society are searching for a new website design to be developed. They are opening toe door for those that have experience in this field to submit a Request for Proposal.

This RFP is for design and development services for a new website for partnering organizations: Revelstoke Arts Council and Revelstoke Visual Arts Society.

The Arts Council would like to accomplish this new venture by September of 2018. The objective for this project is to create a “digital hub” for the arts in this community . Currently, Revelstoke’s main arts groups, specifically the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre, the Revelstoke Arts Council and the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre are often confused by the public.

By representing these organizations together, the Revelstoke arts community can better leverage the promotion, activities and membership base. The new website will have common and shared back-end platform functionalities, making managing and updating more efficient as well as marketing and promotion. Users will have access to more information and services for the arts all in one place with common functionalities and tools.
