Many arts and culture organizations have been shifting and changing how they deliver content, engage communities, and invite audiences to participate. The virtual National Arts Marketing Project Conference addresses these changes by bundling fresh concepts to inspire and set the groundwork for arts and culture organizations to adapt, survive, and thrive in 2022 and beyond. Together, we look forward to navigating the changing landscape and exploring the road ahead for arts marketing. Register to join conference December 7-8 to access this truly unique experience!

IOS 15 IS OUT, BUT MARKETERS CAN SHAKE OFF THE LOSS OF EMAIL OPEN RATES
With the launch of Apple’s iOS 15 earlier this month also came the departure of open rates for emails as a reliable metric for success. Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection feature nullifies tracking on emails opened by Apple Mail users and makes the open rate—which we all love to track so much—less reliable. Good news, iOS 15 should not be a channel-ending event for email, but rather an opportunity to refocus on website clicks and associated behavior as better indicators of consumer intent.

Embedding and encouraging engagement with our organizations is a major prioriy for arts marketers. In “Maintaining and Cultivating New Audiences During COVID-19 and Beyond,” Kristie Swink Benson shares insight on how to foster authentic relationships with community members and audiences. Arts marketers will ask themselves what is their responsibility as arts marketers for fostering meaningful engagement and how our organizations can address digital barriers that exist for those audiences within our reach.

JOIN US for an “Arty Party” in Jackson County: Friday, September 17, 2021 from 7 to 8:30 pm!
YOU are invited to help us and JACKSON CENTER FOR THE ARTS (JCA) paint the final two letters of the Jackson mural-and network with artists and arts supporters in the area!
This will be our second event of our 18-month series networking events for every county in our region. SMAC will host a variety of specialty cookies from “Katie’s Cookies & More” and a cash bar, and SMAC staff will be in attendance to connect with attendees and get the word out about who SMAC is, what we do, and what services and assistance we can offer for our communities.
Once the Jackson letter mural is completed, it will be installed at White Street and Hwy 71 on the Senior Dining Building-be sure to check it out if you have the chance, and tell everyone you know that you had a hand in making it happen while attending our Jackson Arty Party!
We look forward to p(art)ying with you!
