Introduction to Arts and Culture Communication (IAC-01)
Arts and Culture Communication Course Singapore
Arts and Culture Communication Course
Arts and culture should spark and sustain dialogue about social and individual identity, and inspire conversations about how we live, what we value, and why. These are the vehicles that drive your influence and make an impact in your area of practice. Arts and Culture Communication is for artists, cultural organisations, communicators, and managers who want a holistic, sustainable communication strategy. It goes beyond how to use digital marketing tools and platforms, to creating meaningful engagement with audiences. You will develop the knowledge and skills to engage audiences in a meaningful way and implement a communication strategy that works on any platforms you choose. This course is covered by the ASEAN subsidy for eligible participants.

During lockdowns, people around the world took solace in the arts by turning to films, stories, and music during lockdowns — a living testimony to how essential the arts are in everyday life. Despite this, practitioners in the arts and culture, from museums and orchestras to painters and heritage advocates, often struggle to explain what makes their practice important and meaningful. Communicators in the arts and cultural industries must accept the critical mandate to go beyond ticket sales and social media followers, and take the bold steps needed to engage and educate audiences.
This workshop supports individuals and groups in their communication initiatives, including artists from any discipline, arts and heritage managers, educators, arts or culture marketing professionals, and professional copywriters who specialise in these fields. We will discuss how to develop a long-term communication strategy that builds lasting relationships with your audiences and showcases the value of your work in the arts or cultural industry. The knowledge and skills in this workshop are applicable across marketing communications, media releases, social media marketing, funding applications, and branding.
