Thursday July 24 from 5-7pm at the Armroy, 600 White Street, Key West
The Studios of Key West and the Monroe County Council of the Arts have again joined forces to offer a free professional development session open to all local creative people. The focus of the July 24 gathering will be marketing strategies, promotional opportunities, and media relations. Individual artists as well as cultural organization leaders are encouraged to attend. The 5pm presentations will include a question and answer session, followed by a wine and cheese reception in the Armory's main hall.
Three local and and national marketing specialists will be on hand to discuss the variety of promotional and advertising options available to Key West artists, galleries and cultural organizations. Speakers will discuss successful strategies and publicity outlets, techniques for getting the most exposure in the media, and tips and tricks for getting the most "bang for your buck" with advertising dollars. Presenters will include Nance Frank, owner of Key West's Gallery on Greene; Carol Shaughnessy of Stuart Newman & Associates; and Jane Innis of Artnews Magazine.
No registration is required, and additional details are available by calling The Studios of Key West at 296-00458
