- highlighting events in weekly targeted e-mails sent to 4,000 arts lovers and arts supporters
- posting on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to drive traffic to VermontArts2018.com, where your activities are featured
- advertising Vermont Arts 2018 through media underwriting and advertising
- promoting Vermont as an arts destination through regional and national public relations campaigns
