On June 9th at 1pm at the Gonville Café Library: I will discuss the latest trends for 2014 as well as show you around

Facebook, Instagram and Spotify. The workshop will include an

introduction to Event Finder and The Big Idea and fi nish with examples of

inspirational social media from arts organisations.

Helping you spread the wordI am happy to use my social media channels to post news for artists of

upcoming events and opportunities. I post mainly on the ‘The Big Idea’,

Twitter, Facebook and You Tube. The trick is to email me your information

in as few words as possible in a format I can cut and paste as well as an

image or, alternatively, send me your social media links and I will re-post.

Please note I require an image to post on Twitter or Facebook.
