Artist Talk

Testimonials

Apr 4

I served as the publicist for Artist Talk, a mental health art and performance event series, to secure press and build awareness of their inaugural event at Opya Studios and their third event at Carnegie Museum of Art.

Pittsburgh-based artist Sydney Davis felt mental health conversations in the Pittsburgh creative community just weren’t happening. So she did something about it.

I crafted a compelling press release and sponsorship content for Artist Talk. The pitch was distributed to local media.

For the first Artist Talk, Pittsburgh City Paper, The Incline, and NEXTPittsburgh published articles.

For the third event, we successfully earned 11 online press placements including The Pittsburgh Independent, Made in PGH, and Local Pittsburgh Magazine. We landed a segment on KDKA Newsradio 1020 with host Ki Ki Brown and had WPXI cover the event for the 11 o’clock news later that night.

Thanks to increased awareness, Artist Talk was invited to apply for grants totaling over $25,000, received food, beverage, and venue sponsorships, and has pending events with large partners like WQED (in addition to continuing its flagship series) for 2023.
