Welcome to the National Arts Marketing Project Conference!

Virtual - December 7 & 8 

Arts and culture organizations have continued to shift and flex, adapting and adopting new ways of working while also sustaining existing platforms, outlets, and audiences. As we continue to react and respond to the changing landscape created by the pandemic, uncertainty is the only constant. Nothing is normal yet. 

At Americans for the Arts, we have continued looking at more effective ways to support organizations, individuals, and communities. This year, and for the foreseeable future, we will continue to deliver the National Arts Marketing Project Conference online in its focused and streamlined format. This change will allow us to remain sustainable, relevant, and responsive. It will allow us to support more individuals through an expanded registration support program and will keep pricing affordable and accessible. This will also allow us to integrate more accessibility into the format and experience and continue to grow and build on the legacy of access that has been a hallmark of the conference.

Join us virtually as we explore three core themes:

You: What new skill(s) do I need to learn to be effective in my individual career?
Your World: What information does the field need to navigate the current environment?
Your Future: What is our collective vision for the future, and how do we reach it? 

What You’ll Get From This Conference:

• TWO days of programming content from field experts in social media, email marketing, audience development, fundraising, research, and much more. 

With panel talks and hands-on workshops, learn the skills you need to be a better marketer. From the latest strategies to new technologies and innovations, this is the one-of-a-kind educational experience you’ve been looking for.
