Also included are press releases, PSA’s, color posters, electronic images, fact sheets, logos, templates and more.
Provide a unique community-wide collaborative arts project.
Artrain’s Community Handbook is a comprehensive step-by-step “how to” manual for a successful community-wide collaboration based on nearly 40 years of touring and presenting exhibitions. Knowledgeable and friendly support from Artrain staff will assist you every step of the way.
Create new long-lasting partnerships, alliances and broaden community capacity.
Recognize and promote community partners and alliances through your Artrain events, strengthening relationships, businesses and organizations. Artrain has fostered the creation of hundreds of arts programs and cultural organizations around the country and instilled a sense of accomplishment and pride within communities.
Improve access to quality arts education opportunities, with the world of art delivered to your door.
Artrain provides educational programs that stimulate and encourage appreciation, awareness, participation and interest in the arts. A variety of educational materials including teaching packets are provided in advance. The Artrain interactive learning experience begins prior to and lasts beyond an exhibition’s visit.
Build strong donor and volunteer programs and spur civic pride.
Artrain helps grow your resources! Artrain knows that a strong fundraising program and strong relationships with donors are vital to community-based organizations. In addition to comprehensive training for local volunteers, Artrain offers a fundraising program, based on decades of experience, designed to build sustainable funding and support centered on your programs and relationships within your community.
Revitalize local arts councils & encourage appreciation, awareness, participation and interest in the arts.
Through access to community specific web pages you can post local event information, press clippings, photos and video clips, and provide attendees the opportunity to vlog/blog their thoughts about the exhibition, in turn bringing awareness to your organization and the arts.
Serve as a catalyst for community improvements.
Artrain has been a catalyst for not only the formation of many local and regional arts councils, but also the development of annual arts festivals, the renovation of old railroad depots and the revitalization of downtown districts.
