Documents
You are the best person to reach your networks and all the people who are most interested in your work. We've seen the best results when artists promote themselves and their events on their own channels, e.g. your own social accounts, email lists, networking, and word of mouth.
Social Media
- Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram. Also, be sure you’re signed up for our email newsletter.
- Post about your event and tag us. We'll get notified and can boost as our capacity allows.
- The sooner you tell your project manager about your event, the more likely we’ll be able to fit it into our editorial calendar.
- If you have promo materials, please remember to send anything you've produced (flyers, posters, promo graphics, etc.) to your project manager. These items should all include the Office of Arts & Culture name and/or logo.
We recommend posting on social and circulating these items at least two weeks prior to your event to increase awareness and attendance.
Press Releases and Press Kits
Press releases inform the media about you and your event and can inspire them to publish a calendar listing or even cover the event. Many smaller publications will print releases verbatim if they are written well enough.
Press kits provide useful background information for the media when they write previews or reviews of your event. They can take awhile to assemble, so maybe only create them for larger events that media are confirmed to attend.
Search the internet for a description and walkthough of how to write a press release and create a press kit.
