Promotion for this year’s festival will include: a street-sized banner over Park Avenue (hung for two weeks prior to the festival), sandwich boards in high traffic spots around Cranston, press releases, listings in all the local papers, inclusion in the Motif Fall Guide, email blasts, flyer distribution to four local surrounding school districts, send-home flyers to all of our summer camp participants, promotion on Artists’ Exchange’s Facebook and Twitter feed, a large banner in Artists’ Exchange’s window and posters at local hotspots. With all of this promotion, we expect a great turn-out! ????
THE ARTS AND COMMUNITY
Participating in our events allows you to join our growing community and to be a part of something truly extraordinary. All of our events are geared to accomplish many things: to raise awareness of Artists’ Exchange’s programs, to provide opportunities for artists to share and sell their work, to help revitalize the community we call home and to provide opportunities for the interaction of all kinds of people, with and without developmental barriers, with art acting as the unifying force that brings us together.
I look forward to hearing from you!
