Media is changing: moving online and becoming social even as traditional media outlets are disappearing.  These changes present new challenges for presenters and artists trying to get their message out to prospective audiences, as well as challenges for journalists and other media creators who cover the arts. But new media also creates new opportunities for developing new and closer relationships with existing audiences and for finding new audiences for our work.

This series of presentations is aimed at helping everyone involved in arts presentation navigate this new media landscape by introducing successful new media strategies. It will also provide a space for presenters, musicians, journalists and others to meet together and explore new and productive modes of media collaboration.
