Event Central

A panel discussion & networking event for Pittsburghs arts community  

In today's constantly evolving world of technology, social media, and interconnectivity, is it enough just to do art?  What kinds of added value activities are organizations in the creative sector implementing to appeal to a younger, more tech-savvy generation?  How do we as artists and arts managers go that extra mile to make our work accessible, engaging, and relevant?  And perhaps most importantly, are our efforts paying off?   

Join the Pittsburgh Emerging Arts Leaders (PEAL) network for a Creative Conversation to address these questions! A panel will address the growing trend of adding value to traditional arts offerings in order to attract a new generation of audience members. These tactics include games, post-show discussions, multimedia activities, and other experiences that give audience members more of a stake in the work they have come to experience.  The panel will delve into the tough questions about such activities, including their value, effectiveness, and attractiveness to current and potential arts audiences.
