The GVPTA presents a new workshop:Arts Communities Online: Engaging patrons, donors and the public through social media

Wednesday April 7, 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
at the Alliance for Arts and Culture conference room, #100 – 938 Howe St., Vancouver

This day-long workshop, led by Angela Crocker of Beachcomber Communications, will focus on creating a social media plan participants can implement right away. This plan will include a blog editorial calendar, concrete methods for creating content, suggestions for sparking dialogue and opportunities for community participation. We’ll also explore pacing those efforts and three ways to analyze the interactions. Participants will talk in broad terms about common social media tools for building communities, blogging, bookmarking, information sharing, news sources and photo & video feeds and how to use these tools.

This course assumes participants have a working knowledge of common social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, blogging tools, YouTUBE and Flickr and are comfortable with social media terminology such as tweet & hashtag. Only a minimal amount of time will be spent on the technical how-tos. This course is about generating content and engagement strategies. Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops to participate fully in the class and to prepare plans to put into action immediately. The venue’s wifi will be available to participants.
