Auckland Region arts specific brochure stands operational
The partnership project between aaa and Jasons brochure distribution service is now operational across the Auckland region, with venue locations continuing to be extended. Small revolving stands and larger wall mounted display racks are offered at present and in future a video screen addition on the larger stands is planned to be an option.
We have negotiated a very cost effective deal with Jasons, to enable both the professional and community arts sectors to market their events and products, within manageable time slots appropriate to their requirements and budgets. Please check out information on our website re stand details, price lists, display agreements and contract forms.
