If you are working in the arts, I hope you were able to attend our Resource Market for the Arts this past Monday. We had a great crowd (in spite of the rainy weather!) who visted with over 25 organizations who provide resources and/or funds to artists and arts organizations. Our handout from the market profiling the organizations who were there should be available at our web site shortly.
We also had 2 great programs last week. On Monday our program on advocacy and the arts highlighted ways you can use advocacy to sustain your arts funding. Listen to our podcast of Adam Natale from Fractured Atlas discussing advocacy.
On Friday Sherry Heyl from Concept Hub, Inc. spoke about how to develop a communications plan for your organization using social media tools. Listen to Sherry talk about planning for your use of social media.
Both of these programs were videotaped. Look for them at our video archive in a few weeks.
