The City of Mansfield Commission for the Arts has partnered with Texans for the Arts and the Texas Downtown Association to ensure a powerful program.
This Cultural Arts Tourism Conference was created to bring together Texas arts organizations to learn "best practices” in operating and promoting arts venues and events to the tourism market.
This program will provide participants with the essential tools necessary to operate and promote their arts venues and commissions at a high level.
Conference take-aways:
- You will know how to increase your marketing exposure without spending a dime
- You will know how to have more influence with your board, elected officials, and stakeholders
- You will walk away having solved your current biggest problem or issue
- You will know how to obtain more funding for your projects
- You will meet new industry counterparts who will be willing to help you for the rest of your career
This program is perfect for arts venue directors, board members, and staff; arts commission directors, board members and staff; tourism professionals, and convention and visitor bureau personnel.
This program is tri-fold:
1. Learn about the venues in which you are meeting
2. Learn from specialists
3. Learn from each other
This MOVING program takes place in several arts venues in Mansfield: Mansfield Performing Arts Center, Farr Best Theater, The LOT, Mansfield Historical Museum and Heritage Center, and the Mansfield Training Center.
