Free Marketing Workshop
On Friday, October 12 at Savannah Coffee Roasters, the Arts and Culture Alliance of Chatham County will hold the second in a series of workshops dedicated to strengthening the long-term sustainability of Chatham County’s arts and culture organizations. The workshop begins at 9 a.m.
In partnership with ThriveHive, this one-hour plus free marketing workshop is designed to help your arts and culture organization improve its marketing efforts, identify new methods of reaching audiences, hear how valuable a digital marketing strategy can be in today’s day and age, and how to best utilize it to reach the right audiences at the right time.
Seating is limited. Please register by October 9. (Only 9 Tickets Are Available) (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/acacc-free-marketing-workshop-tickets-50448701424)

Weave-A-Dream Deadline Approaching
The deadline for Weave-A-Dream funding, November 13, 2018, is approaching quickly. There are still a lot of funds remaining that very well might go unused.
If you are an individual or an organization that could use up to an extra $2,000 visit http://savannahga.gov/1026/Weave-A-Dream to see if you qualify or contact Rebecca Brown to discuss further. The Weave-A-Dream program should be of particular interest to those organizations that did not apply for FY 2018 or 2019 Investment funds and everyone else that could use some extra funds for their arts and culture-based project.
The criteria are very flexible but note that student-based projects are not permitted by the Arts, Culture & Historical Resources Department.
National Arts Advocacy Day
Save the date for the next National Arts Advocacy Day. The two-day event is scheduled for March 4-5, 2019 in Washington, DC. Personally, I have been attending for seven years with my students I and always find it insightful and meaningful.
For 2019, Americans for the Arts’ Arts Action Fund appointed me as Georgia’s State Captain. To that end, you will hear more from me as the date gets closer.
Given the current arts and culture public policy climate, I hope that the State of Georgia can have a strong showing and thus have a real measurable impact. Again, you’ll hear more about this in early 2019, but if you are interested in knowing more today and want to consider attending, let me know.
Chatham County Arts and Culture Directory and Calendar
ACACC is in the process of exploring options to provide a centralized database of all arts and culture organizations, artists, venues, and events. ACACC will then promote the directory and calendar countywide as funds permit.
If you are interested in knowing more about this or how you can add yourself to the database, please let me know.
