A Network To Build Chicago Arts Audiences

August 19, 2010

Campus Connection: Engaging College Students in the Arts

A free Learning Forum for professionals working in college and university student life and arts marketing/audience engagement.

Presented by The Arts Engagement Exchange

Join us for what promises to be a meeting of great minds.  According to GradSpot.com, Chicago is the #1 city for Recent Grads, many of them from local institutions of higher learning.  There are thousands of undergraduate and graduate students living in the Chicago area, attending scores of colleges and universities.

This learning forum is the first step in an effort designed to connect college students with Chicago’s arts organizations, building a commitment to continued participation in the arts after graduation. 

  • Hear from a currently enrolled university student about ways to effectively communicate with this generation about entertainment options.
  • Get insights from university experts in student life.
  • Learn from arts organizations that are developing college student audiences.
  • Brainstorm with university and arts professionals about the best ways to engage college students.
