Marketing & Advertising Materials

Let’s Work Together to Build Attendance

We are working hard to promote the festival through paid advertising, email marketing, social media, posters, postcards, local outreach, and more.


Your help matters too.


When artists share the show with their collectors, clients, friends, family, and social media followers, it gives people a personal reason to attend. Patrons are more likely to come when they know an artist they follow will be exhibiting.


To make this easy, we have created a Google Drive folder with promotional materials you are welcome to download and use, including flyers, posters, festival logo files, social media graphics, a sample show write-up, and photos from last year’s show, when available.


Please use these materials in your email newsletter, on your website, on social media, in event calendars, neighborhood groups, and anywhere else you promote your upcoming shows. Even one or two simple posts from each artist can help build attendance and create a stronger weekend for everyone.

Taxes

Total Tax Rate - Highlands Summer Finale Art Festival August 29th & 30th

Tax Docs from the State Of Colorado are HERE!


Colorado  imposes sales tax on retail sales of tangible personal property. In  general, the tax does not apply to sales of services, except for those  services specifically taxed by law. However, in the case of a mixed  transaction that involves a bundled sale of both tangible personal  property and service (whether or not such service is specifically  taxed), the entire purchase price may be taxable unless certain  conditions exist.

In  general, any retailer making sales in Colorado is required to collect  the applicable state and state-administered local sales taxes. The  requirement to collect tax applies regardless of whether the sale is  made at a retailer’s location in Colorado or delivered to the customer  at a location in Colorado. A retailer may be required to collect tax  even if it has no physical presence in Colorado. 


Any  retailer that is required to collect Colorado sales tax must obtain and  maintain a Colorado sales tax license. They must also file returns and  remit collected taxes at regular intervals, generally on a monthly  basis. Retailers must maintain all records necessary to determine the  correct amount of tax and provide these records to the Department upon  request.

This  publication is designed to provide retailers with general guidance  regarding sales tax licensing, collection, filing, remittance, and  recordkeeping requirements prescribed by law.

https://tax.colorado.gov/sales-use-tax-guidance-publications

The Denver Revised Municipal Code (DRMC) imposes a 5.15% sales tax on  the purchase price paid or charged on retail sales including retail  sales made online to Denver customers, leases, or rentals of taxable  tangible personal property, products, and on certain services.

The most convenient option to register for your tax license is online at Denver's EBiz Tax Center. You can manage taxes for most accounts there.


Denver is a Home Rule city. As such, it has elected to administer and collect its own local sales and use tax. You must pay your Denver Sales Tax directly to the city.


Since the Highlands Summer Finale Art Festival isn't listed under the Special Events page, you just put in the name of the event under "Other" and it  allows you to fill in information about the event.

Do Your Taxes!

WARNING: We are required to turn-in our participating artists after every show. The state and city will have your name, address, phone, and email and they will contact you if you do not file. 


Please direct all Colorado Tax Questions to Colorado Tax Compliance Agent Talon R. at (303) 866-5643
