Discounts

Metrocreate offers discounts to artists and non-profits, each year we also do one free web site for a local organization (non-profit). For example we completed a complete redesign of the Maynard ArtSpace web site in 2009, we continue to update and maintain the site too-all free of charge. The Internet should not be exclusive to those that have no budget to get themselves there, we provide this services because it's the right thing to do. This year we have agreed to work with the Cambridge Art Association to build a new version of their web site. This project marks the second volunteer effort from MetroCreate since we started the program in 2009.

More Details

Because we are committed to contributing towards the arts in a local and regional way we have started a new program to enable all artists to establish an online presence for their work, portfolio, resume, etc. Basically this program enables artists to special pricing of a professional web site design from our Studio. One of our professional web developers will custom create a web site with all the standard pages such as Home, About, Contact, Portfolio, etc. and usually has it completed in under a months time. This is just one way in which MetroCreate Studios reaches out to the artistic community.

Are you an Artist or non profit and want to take advantage of this offer? Please contact us and give some details around what the project will need to look like. We'll take it from there.

Recognized in the Boston Globe for our efforts with the ArtSpace Web site

MAYNARDGIVING VIRTUAL AID - For one Maynard resident, finding a way to volunteer meaningfully proved a local effort. With the volunteer help of town resident Eric Wing, who has an Internet design business, Maynard's nonprofit community arts center, ArtSpace, last month debuted a website. Wing built it for the center, free of charge. The 43 artists who rent studios at ArtSpace now have an Internet address at which they can showcase their work, said executive director Jero Nesson, and since the site reemerged with Wing's design, "a number of artists have contacted us; we're presenting a much better sense of what our space is about.'' According to Wing, his donated redesign would have cost more than $2,000 under contract. Nesson said ArtSpace could never have afforded a consultant to do the work, given the center's budgetary constraints. "We really would have had to manage with what we had,'' Nesson said, and described the old website as "in dire need of upgrading.'' Wing said he first considered contributing his time to larger institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. "But I came to the realization, how often was I going to get into Boston and make an impact?'' he said. "So, I looked locally, and walked into ArtSpace.'' Wing said he plans to donate a similar project to an artist or arts organization annually. - James O'Brien
