Community contributions
Open the doors, keep the keys
Community photos, stories, and fixes: nothing publishes without your approval.
Participation with editorial control
The community contributes. Your team decides what publishes.
-
The moderation queue
Every submission, suggestion, and proposal in one place, waiting on your yes.
-
Photo and story submissions
Photos and stories from the people who live with the art, held for your review.
Two gates between a submission and the public
A contribution arrives as a proposal, and your team decides if it becomes a draft. Publishing is a second, deliberate yes. Nothing reaches the guide by accident.
Corrections, discoveries, and routes of their own
Visitors keep the guide current and make it their own.
-
Suggest an edit
Visitors flag what changed. The fix arrives as a draft.
-
Propose a work
The works your inventory missed, submitted as drafts.
-
Saves, lists, and shareable routes
Favorite works, personal lists, and routes to share.
Engagement without the anxiety
Every contribution is approved before it goes live.
-
Moderated by design
Contributions become drafts and publish only when your team approves.
-
Eyes everywhere
The community photographs what a small team can't cover alone.
-
A record that stays true
Corrections arrive as suggestions, so the catalog keeps pace with the street.
-
On their own routes
Saves and lists turn a browse into a route worth sharing.
Open doors, proven in Calgary
The Calgary guide welcomes photos, stories, and fixes from the public. Calgary Arts Development's own team holds the keys and decides what publishes.
You publish, we operate
A moderated community, without new workload.
-
Built for a team of one
Many programs run on a single coordinator. Approvals happen in the same simple admin your editors already publish through.
-
Operated for years, not a season
We host, maintain, and improve the guide after launch. Your team keeps the pen, and we carry the rest.
FAQs
Can anything publish without our approval?
No. Every submission, suggestion, and proposal lands in a moderated queue and goes live only when your team says yes.
What can the public actually contribute?
Photos and stories on existing works, suggested edits when something changes, and proposals for works you don't have yet, plus saves and lists for their own routes.
How do we handle spam or off-topic submissions?
Nothing appears publicly until it's approved, so the queue is your filter. Decline anything that doesn't belong and it never touches the guide.
Does moderation need a dedicated team?
No. Contributions become drafts, not obligations. The queue waits at your pace, and your editors approve things in the same simple admin they already publish through.
