GET THE WORD OUT

Using various publicity strategies is crucial to successfully connect arts, culture, and education programs with their intended participants.   We developed the following samples, tip sheets, media contact lists and other materials to help you.   Some were prepared with the help of media consultant Bill Sweet, and shared at local publicity how-to workshops last winter.   Send us your ideas and examples and we’ll share them here!
