How is Marketing an Extension of the Artistic Vision?
|
In How is Marketing an Extension of the Artistic Vision?, NCCAkron Executive and Artistic Director Christy Bolingbroke shares how marketing can help reach new audience members, donors, and more. By using the framework WolfBrown’s Arc of Engagement in CAR Investigative Retreats, artists learn how the audience experience unfolds in five stages. These stages can prompt artists to think differently about the ways they communicate about their work.
