Hello, Business
Owners!
Last August, Jackson County Arts put on the very first
Jackson County Art Walk. We had over 20 businesses and more than 35 artists and
musicians participate. We estimate that at least 250 people from the community
and neighboring communities were out to enjoy the Arts on our town square. We
were very pleased with our first attempt and will use what we learned as we
move forward on future Art Walks. We are grateful to all the businesses that
showed support for the Arts in August and hope that even more will help the
event grow!
We are planning
the next Jackson County Art Walk for Friday, April 19, 2013 from 5:00-8:00 PM.
There are several
ways in which a business can participate or support the next Jackson County Art
Walk.
1.
Personally invite an artist or artists to show
at your location. If you have contact with an artist, you are welcome to set up
all the details and have work on display during the Art Walk.
2.
Invite a musician or musical group to perform
inside or in front of your location.
3.
Host a Show- You could pick a theme and put out
a “call for artists” then choose your favorites to display. You can have an
“opening” during the Art Walk.
4.
Allow Jackson County Arts to set you up with an
artist or musician. We have put together an “Interest Form” to collect names of
interested artists and musicians so we can try to pair them with businesses. If
you are interested, we can give you the contact information so that you and the
artist can figure out the details for setting up.
5.
Sponsor a refreshment table or hands-on
activity.
Things to think
about
·
If you do set up your own artist, please let
Jackson County Arts know so that we can include you on our official Art Walk
list.
·
Whether or not you choose to have your
storefront open during the Art Walk is up to you. If you are not able to be
open, you can still participate by displaying work in your window so that it
can be seen from the sidewalk or letting an artist or musician demonstrate or
play in front.
·
While most of the Art Walk event will be on the
town square, we are interested in other venues participating. You do not have
to be located on the square to show Art.
·
If you invite an artist or musician, they do not
have to be from Jackson County.
·
Jackson County Arts will be responsible for
putting together an official Art Walk Map. You do not need to pay anything for
this.
Supporting the
Arts is good for communities and good for businesses.
Randy Cohen from Americans for the Arts compiled a list of
10 Reasons to Support the Arts in 2012 (http://blog.artsusa.org/2012/04/11/10-reasons-to-support-the-arts-in-2012-from-arts-watch/) . Included in the top
10 were:
Arts are good for local merchants. The typical arts attendee spends $24.60 per person, per event, not
including the cost of admission on items such as meals, parking, and
babysitters. Non-local arts audiences (who live outside the county) spend
nearly twice as much as local arts attendees ($39.96 vs. $17.42)—valuable
revenue for local businesses and the community.
Arts are the cornerstone of tourism. Arts travelers are
ideal tourists—they stay longer and spend more. The U.S. Department of Commerce
reports that the percentage of international travelers including museum visits
on their trip has grown annually since 2003 (17 to 24 percent), while the share
attending concerts and theater performances increased five of the past seven
years (13 to 17 percent since 2003).
Stronger communities. University of
Pennsylvania researchers have demonstrated that a high concentration of the
arts in a city leads to higher civic engagement, more social cohesion, higher
child welfare, and lower poverty rates. A vibrant arts community ensures that
young people are not left to be raised solely in a pop culture and tabloid
marketplace.
We really hope our community can work together to support
the Arts through the next Jackson County Art Walk. If you would like to
participate, please let us know by contacting an Art Walk Chairperson.
