‘This is how we do it’ – free sessions

Free online sessions exploring different ways of working

Over the past couple of years, quite a few people have asked to tell us more about the way we’re doing things. We want to hear about how other people are taking on some of the challenges we all face, too! So we’re going to open a room on Zoom to give some space for sharing and discussion about the practice of contemporary arts, cultural events and maybe even social change – in our city of Gloucester and beyond.

PAST EVENT: Pitching to Non-Arts-Attenders // Tuesday 1 October 2024, 11am-12.30pm // Online event // Free

How do you connect with the general public and get non-arts attendees to attend arts events?
For several years running, ~50% of the audiences at our events have been non-arts-attenders – in part, we think, because we take care to talk about those events in a different way. Our Marketing Manager Ben will share some simple-but-effective insights to how we’ve changed our ‘pitching’ to achieve this.
