Empathize. Don’t Sympathize

Because we all have been a place where its dark, vulnerable and scary. Instead of starting it out with at least, looking and holding space for someone and saying, hey I’ve been there too. Happy Monday.

Manu Chao at the EMU Ballroom.

Can you believe it? Coming on the Solstice this year. Part of the Coconut Bliss and 3rd Space Arts partnership collaboration, this display ad would run as an horizontal half page featured somewhere in the Eugene Weekly.

Media Inventory

Hypothetically speaking…

Facebook

Facebook is a great platform for Third Space Arts to exist. Since we are trying to create accessibility among our demographics, Facebook acts a free resource that can be utilized to advertise events and build more exposure for the venue as  rental and performing arts space. Third Space Arts would be able to reach a broad audience as well as focus on youth populations with Facebook, which can really build for engaging youth in large numbers. The issue with Facebook that over time, we have to ask ourselves how effective is this marketing strategy?

Website

The website acts as online hub that encompasses what Third Space Arts offers.  Although the website is still being constructed, it provides the mission, vision and overall message of what Third Space Arts will do within the community. When we are reaching out and advertising for events, displaying information about our open hours and rental fees or promoting volunteer opportunities within the organization, the website serves as a centralized place to gather information.

KRVM/KLCC

Radio space on KRVM would be a great place to engage audiences through different transmedia besides the internet. KRVM hosts speciality programs that would be a great platform as it expresses similar exposure to cultural diversity which Third Space Arts strives for.

For example , Rock en El Centro, showcases music of latin america and hosts the show entirely in Spanish. This is a great because it actually would provide a platform for us to engage audience members who may not be in our immigrant demographic. By being inclusive to offering information everywhere, we can really foster and build more community support.

KLCC would serve as a great platform to engage college students and their families. As we also look to partner with some of the student groups represented at the University of Oregon, it would be in our best interest to be inclusive with this a platform that reaches students both on and off campus.

Oregon Public Broadcasting

Oregon Public Broadcasting would be a channel that serves in multiple ways: news, tv, radio, music-the ability to connect multiple channels over one umbrella. Third Space Arts would be able to partner with OPB to stream or film or performances as well as advertise for any upcoming public events. This partnership would be a great way to build exposure that goes beyond Eugene and could extend throughout Oregon.

Podcasts 

Podcasts again are another platform that would allow for exposure through streaming and and free downloads of performance. Again this may focus towards a specific demographic, but would again provide a free service for those who may have been unable to attend an event to be able to experience in the comfort of their own home and/or at their own leisure.

 

Rock N’ Roll with Addams Family Ode

Happy hump day everyone.  Here is a great interview something I found interesting while procrastinating. The History and Evolution of American Roots Music.

The interview talks about on music, race and the art of cultural freedom. It also has a very large section on Bob Dylan. It seems like a great book that explores music in context to black roots and the history of popular music through the decades.

In conclusion, here is my ode to hump day, the beginning of Halloween Samhain madness and the Addams Family. I have some ones with that silly camel, but he just gets annoying. I will continue my search for humor on Wednesdays and Weekends. Stay tuned.
