This workshop is part of a 6-session peer-to-peer training series that will discuss the power of your voice (the ultimate expression of you), how to gain new customers, how to write a one-page press release, how to determine what benefit you offer customers, the process of getting your product out to your audience, and how to prepare a proper "Thank You" that is earnest and can also be used as a promotional showcase for your next event.
Peer-to-Peer Sessions is a free and accessible (mostly) online series geared to enrich, educate, and connect creatives through a series of workshops and training sessions. New Bedford is the home of artists, creatives, change makers, designers, entrepreneurs and community enthusiasts and the Peer-to-Peer Sessions embraces the pulse that makes New Bedford so unique while expanding our knowledge and connections.Funding for this initiative is provided by the City of New Bedford, through American Rescue Plan awards, and its Arts, Culture and Tourism Fund. Additional support comes from the Barr Foundation and Bristol County Savings Bank. Peer-to-Peer Sessions is one component of a larger initiative to support arts-based economic development.
