Julia McHugh
A news release makes all the difference in promoting your art and is vital to attracting an
audience to any concert, opening, gallery show or special event. In this lively, hands­on session,
Julia reveals the dos and don'ts of writing news release and shows you how to use them to your
advantage. Join us and find out how to garner media coverage ­ and the recognition you
deserve. "News release are the major tools for publicity," says Julia, "they are like hammers for
carpenters, or brushes for painters."
Julia McHugh studied acting, and credits those thespian skills as her success in public relations.
She has spent nearly 30 years as a publicist for arts and environmental nonprofit groups, "from
opera to ostriches," she likes to say. She has been the Public Relations Director at the Santa
Barbara Zoo for ten years, and is the Associate Producer and Publicist for Lit Moon Theatre
Company, among her other illustrious credits. She earned her Accreditation in Public Relations
(APR) from the Public Relations Society of America in 2010, and is the only APR between

mentored. A short while later, Ash met photographer, Macduff Everton, at an AWoL
event. She had found her mentor!
"Always having a passion for the arts I grew up with thousands of images in my
head, things I had seen and what I wanted to make. I struggled to find a medium
because even though the end result was cool and artistic, I was not creating the
vision I had in mind: wanting to create surreal images that still looked realistic. I
knew I couldn't ever draw these images and started into photography."
Ash finished the photography program at Central Washington University, then
enrolled at Brooks Institute of Photography. "Brooks opened up my eyes and
brought me the knowledge of light and showed me photographers doing similar
work to what I so desperately desired to make." "Macduff has been wonderful to work with since I met him at the AWoL Soiree back
in the summer. We immediately hit it off talking about photography. His work is
dynamic and engaging, and everyone told me he is wonderful to work with. He has
been kind and incredibly informative. Going over to his house was a dream seeing
how his workflow is set up and watching him go through his different projects. Macduff informs me of different contests or inspiration pieces that pertain to my
work. He also sends me his take on images and what would help make it more
sellable; an aspect of photography that I am trying to become well rounded with.
The insight that he provides has opened up my eyes on a cleaner image and how
to be successful as a photographer."

their chosen art field. Your have made it possible for AWoL to collaborate with
other local art organizations to highlight the art of emerging artists in the
Mentorship Program at gallery events and exhibits. The only charge for
mentorships, is to give back to their mentor, AWoL and pass it on to the next
generation of artists. Your support has also enabled us to present a free annual ART CAREER DAY
CONFERENCE, which has involved more than 500 young artists, 13-25 years of
age. The conference introduces young artists to Professional Artists and Mentors
in their field, who encourage and support the students' goals to embark on a
career in the arts. We at Art Without Limits would not be able to provide opportunities for artists
to live their dreams and become successful without your support. THE BIGGEST HEARTFELT THANK YOU, EVER!
