Event Submission Criteria

Want to have your event listed on the NYSCA and I LOVE NY calendars? Check the criteria below before submitting.

Please note: We are now accepting in-person and digital events for our calendar. If you would like your event to be shared on NYSCA's social media or have any questions, please email [email protected].
 

In partnership with I LOVE NY, NYSCA’s new calendar is promoting cultural tourism across New York State. We encourage submission of events that serve both the local community and communities from other NYS regions. Please note that event approvals can take up to 10 business days. Submissions meeting the I LOVE NY criteria will feed directly into the I LOVE NY Events page, enabling events to be featured on both calendars with a single submission. Please be aware that digital events will only appear on NYSCA's events calendar.
