UMBRELLA for the Arts
PCAC is committed to acting as an advocate for all the arts in the community.
That's why we've coined the phrase, Umbrella for the Arts.
Through this "Umbrella," we work with other arts organizations in the community
to dream, coordinate, and grow together. One way we do this is through professional
seminars, like the one we hosted on Marketing with Social Media. Future seminars
will include fundraising, public relations, and other topics that will increase
our collective skill sets.
The Arts are coming to the Pleasanton Farmer's Market!
The
City of Pleasanton has co-sponsored a booth with PCAC that will be called Arts
Encounter. The booth
will provide an opportunity for families and people of all ages to interact
with all the different arts disciplines.
On the second Saturday of the month
from April through October, PCAC will partner with different arts
organizations to help introduce the community to different art fields, as
well as the organization that specializes in that field. CLICK

This exciting news will not only change the look and feel of the arts in the
City of Pleasanton, but in the Tri-Valley Area as a whole. We are now on Twitter,
Facebook, LinkedIn, and publishing a very exciting Arts Blog.
Regular posts about the Arts, using all of these avenues, will generate discussion
and communication between readers and allow the arts to not only receive more
recognition, but the additional support it needs to flourish into our future.
Research shows that Social Media is not going away anytime soon. Facebook,
LinkedIn and Twitter are here to stay, and their involvement in our society
is growing exponentially; literally on a daily basis. More and more organizations
recognize the importance and power of using social media to inform current
and future customers and members about their products and services.
If you are not already on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter,
please join! It only takes a couple of minutes to sign up . . . it's safe and
private . . . and you can then connect to our pages and not only follow what
PCAC is up to, but also receive fun event information and news as soon as it
becomes available. In turn, you can share your events, news, neighborhood happenings,
and even your own personal pursuits.
Social Media has literally helped spark revolutions in other countries and
overthrow government regimes. Just think of what it can do for the arts in
Pleasanton.
