There is a new kid in town!
Soon to be launched, a comprehensive website for you/us to promote all the great arts events that the Modesto area has to offer. Red Tie
Red Tie is the rebirth of eArtsNews.com which was a wildly successful arts directory for California’s central valley—racking up as much as 186,000 hits in a single month. eArtsNews ran from 1999 to 2011. The site got too big to handle so between that and our hosting folks shutting down, we called it quits. Bow Tie is more localized, smaller, more efficient and will basically cover Modesto and Stanislaus or within an area with a 40 mile radius of Modesto.
Red Tie will cover most arts events that you should care to list and we will list them as much as a year in advance if you have the event locked down and know for sure it will take place. In addition to your events, we will also list Musicians for hire, Artists, Music and Art instructors, support for musicians like sound companies for concerts etc. Eventually we hope to have listings for art- related products or works for sale. Venues well also have a listing page. Bottom line…if it has to do with the arts, we hope to represent it here.
At some point there will be a small charge for listing, but not until we deem that Red Tie has enough followers to make it worth it for our clients. .
We are starting off with listings as indicated below and as different submissions come in, we will expand thoser listings.
Art & Design Music & Nightlife
Dance Movies
Theatre Events
Galleries Museums
We will be adding in as time goes by.
Artist listings Musician/Band listings
Music & Arts Teachers Featured Arts Writers
If you are involved in the arts in some fashion and it is not listed above, please send anyway, we will try to work it in or create a new category.
Please include us on your mailing list or simply send us information on your events. Please use
