Course applications
Artists often struggle to communicate their relevance and value; this challenge has become more acute and urgent during the COVID-19 pandemic. An artist’s or ensemble’s success cannot be reduced to ticket sales or social media followers alone. The arts should spark and sustain dialogue about social and individual identity, about how we live, what we value, and why. Learn how to communicate about your artistic work and vision during the pandemic and beyond.
Arts communication builds lasting relationships with audiences. This workshop supports individuals and groups in their arts communication initiatives, including artists from any discipline, arts managers, arts educators, arts marketing professionals, and professional copywriters who specialise in the arts. The knowledge and skills in this workshop are applicable across marketing communications, media releases, social media marketing, funding applications, and branding.
