 Arts Quincy: America’s First Arts Council, has been selected as the winner of The American Prize in Arts Marketing, 2019-2020, in recognition of its robust media presence, flagship publication, overall community involvement and public outreach initiatives. Arts Quincy was selected as the winner from applications reviewed recently from across the United States. The American Prize in Arts Marketing recognizes and rewards the best marketing campaigns by the best arts administrators in America and is based on submitted applications from professional or community groups. The contest seeks evidence of campaigns that combine inspiration and creativity with demonstrable success, regardless of the budget available. The American Prize is a national nonprofit competition series which has awards in all areas of the performing arts and arts administration and is considered the nation's most comprehensive series of contests in the fine arts. The American Prize is nonprofit, unique in scope and structure, and is designed to evaluate, recognize and reward the best performers, ensembles, composers and arts administrators in the United States based on submitted recordings and/or materials.
In addition to the award itself, Arts Quincy will receive a cash prize and written remarks by this year’s prestigious panel of judges. “Arts Quincy is so proud of the marketing work we do on behalf of our 55 partner organizations in all areas of the arts and humanities.
