PR 101: PUBLICIZING ARTISTIC EVENTS & WORK
You’ve been at it for months, maybe even years, and at long last, it’s time to share your creation with an audience. Regardless of your medium, generating positive reviews and attracting an audience for your artwork, artistic event or venue requires careful planning, long-lead times and an understanding of the different publicity methods and media outlets available. This workshop will teach you how to identify the right media outlets; how to effectively interact and build relationships with relevant journalists and art critics; the difference between a press release and a calendar notice; how to use social media to build an audience for your work; and why you must begin planning your publicity campaign as soon as you have a set date and venue. Recipients of grant funding or those applying for such funding from Arts Mid-Hudson or other organizations are particularly encouraged to attend this workshop as nearly all grantmakers require artists to detail how they plan to publicize their project(s).
