“You Guys Utilize Facebook Better then Any Other Non-Profit
Out There! |
|
Carol Mittwede, Las Vegas Artist |
Hello,
my name is Angela, and I am a Facebook addict. Aren’t you? When
you work for an amazing company like Transition Services, at a
totally amazing place like Studio 8 Ten, it’s easy to get involved
in the positive marketing aspects of social networking and spend
hours upon hours of each day coming up with new, better ways to make
it work for us. About 6 months ago, we built a group page to help
us better connect with our following, keep them updated on the
events we hold, and, as of recently, offer promotions, giveaways,
and opportunities just to the members of our group. We call this
getting “Face to Face(book)”.
During the month
of July, we will be hosting 25 artists, most from Las Vegas, and a
few from places like California, Florida, Colorado, and Minnesota;
all are members of our Facebook group. Each artist will submit one
stunning work to have on display. Some of the noteworthy local
talents include Danny Roberts, Lincoln Maynard, Mark Zeilman, Dray,
and Laura Zollar. This show represents the diversity that
encompasses our Facebook group, as well as the things that draw
people to us…our passion for art, creativity, and bringing people of
all abilities and backgrounds together to celebrate, socialize, and
have meaningful life experiences in our community.
As with all of
our events, our goal, besides to have a great time, is to bring
people into Studio 8 Ten to share the talents of the artists and
craftspeople with disabilities who find meaningful employment each
day in the hip, urban environment that is Studio 8 Ten. Our guest
artist program is designed to provide a place for artists to display
their work, and share their talents in the form of workshops with
the individuals at the studio. Having a unique, multi-artist event,
like our 25-artist “Face to Face(book) Art Show” allows us an even
bigger opportunity to bring our community into the lives of the
artists at Studio 8 Ten, to interact and engage in positive
experiences.
The “Face to
Face(book) Art Show” will begin on July 3rd, with a
casual First Friday display until 9PM. On Friday, July 17th
we will host an artist reception from 6-8PM with complimentary
catered appetizers, wine, music, and art. This event is free,
family- friendly, and open to the public. We appreciate any
assistance from the media to spread the word, about this event, and
Studio 8 Ten in general. Please contact me for more information at
