Art in the Exchange

Presented by: Sophia Scaletta

Page 2: Strategic PR plan

+Situational Analysis

A group of three art galleries: Gurevich Fine Art, Aceartinc. and Fleet Galleries in the Exchange District of Winnipeg have created a new coalition and pooled their resources in order to develop a joint marketing effort to improve their profiles.

The three galleries currently showcase a total of 40 exhibits a year, drawing about 100,000 visitors.

They need help with their public relations efforts and want to find new and innovative ways to attract new audiences, and generate new business.

Page 3: Strategic PR plan

+Who are we?

Gurevich Fine Art appeals to the art connaisseur. They offer expert services such as art consultations, art appraisals, leasing and financing, private showings, studio tours, space rental, installation and shipping.

Aceartinc. appeals to the local artist. They are managed by local artists and they offer art classes as well as funding to support local artists.

Fleet galleries appeals to the interior designer. They’ve offered professional and expert framing services for over 150 years.

Page 4: Strategic PR plan

+What are we missing?

Revenues are based on space rental, selling art, membership dues and framing services

There are no admission fees

There is a lack of concrete programming and facilities are not being fully utilized.

There is no volunteer presence

Marketing and public relations efforts are weak

Page 5: Strategic PR plan

+Situational analysis

The Winnipeg Art Gallery is our main competitor.

Winnipeggers are not familiar with the art galleries in the Exchange District.

Winnipegers have an overall negative perception of their downtown area.

Page 6: Strategic PR plan

+Situational Analysis

Art galleries attract people who are already participating in other arts activities.

In today’s digital world, people want to be entertained.

Art can now be viewed online from your home

Art is a luxury not a necessity, especially during a recession.

Position them as a one-stop shop for everything related to the arts in the Winnipeg community.

We intend to use Special Events, Media Relations, Social Media and Community Relations.

+Key messages

Our art galleries strive to make art accessible for everyone. They offer an inexpensive way of discovering cultural diversity through art and feature artists that are local and international.

Our art galleries offer a variety of paintings, sculptures, and photographs. We understand that art is a creative way of expressing what cannot be said and we can help you discover new trends and new artists. Our staff is knowledgeable and can help you find a piece that suits your tastes and your needs.

Our art galleries are excellent venues to entertain guests while enjoying beautiful paintings, sculptures and photographs. They are a safe and convenient place to host dinner parties, anniversary parties and staff parties
