#1 - Make new connections! Collaborate with other artists and arts workers

Collaborate with artists, arts organizations, municipal cultural staff and
community facilities in your local area to plan and schedule activities.
Pool your resources, venues, talent and time to collectively build the
Culture Days movement in your community and attract larger crowds to events.

Tip #2 - Just register the outreach activities you are already doing

Organizations don't need to develop a completely new event to join Culture
Days. Existing outreach or arts education programs can be included!
Registration is simple - create a username and password and start entering
your event information!

Tip #3 - Cross-promote and enhance your ticketed events 

Add a free Culture Days activity before, after or adjacent to your ticketed
events taking place during September 30 - October 2. Activities such as
artist talks, backstage tours or demonstrations can enrich the audiences'
understanding of the work and draw new people to your main attractions.

Tip #4 - Remember your creative process can be as interesting as the final
product

Witnessing the creative process in action can cultivate the public's
understanding and appreciation of your artistic labour as well as develop a
deeper enjoyment of the finished work.

Tip #5 - Invite the public to join in 

Encourage the public to give your art form a try with hands-on activities.
