Marketing the Arts in the South West?

If you work in the marketing department of a museum, theatre or arts centre and you work in the Bristol area there are fellow marketing professionals who would like to meet you. BAM (Bristol Arts Marketers) is a group co-ordinated by Audiences South West, who meet to share advice and co-ordinate specialised training for those working to promote the arts. The group is open to all from freelancers to marketing officers and marketing directors, offering opportunities to network. Some of its members include @Bristol, The Arnolfini and the Wardrobe theatre. There may also be an opportunity to work on Bristol city-wide projects. More information about the group is available on the ‘Bristol Creatives’ website. As well as face to face events, members can go online where ‘toolkits, further advice, plans for meetings, invitations to training, and messages are shared’.
