Associated Designers of Canada - Incorporated in 1965, the Associated Designers of Canada is a national, professional, non-profit arts service organization dedicated to promoting the art of live performance design in Canada, including the design of scenery, costumes, lighting, projection, and sound. The Covid-19 pandemic created a disruption of our work in theatres. Combined with the murder of George Floyd and another resurgence of focus on social justice movements like Black Lives Matter, the Canadian theatre community shifted its lens towards an examination of culpability in a systemically oppressive, highly colonial sector. Call-outs, call-ins, statements of solidarity, change, and silent work are all being done within our sector. Designers are generally not invited into these conversations within institutions because we are contract cultural workers. We don’t want to wait to be asked into the conversation, we are ready to respond to, and hold a critical lens up to our collaborators and ask, “What is the future of theatre for us? What is our revolution, how do we participate, respond to, and create art about it?” Designing the Revolutionis was an active (in-person!) response to these questions. Over the course of the next few months as theatres begin to open, the ADC, brought a Revolution! Marketing and Communications 2022

THEATRE

Possibly our forte! We crafted press releases for the following companies and sent them out to our extensive media list. We did follow-up calls and media wrangling to ensure that our shows were previewed and our creators/ performers had a chance to speak about their work during interviews. If you're feeling a bit skittish at the thought of speaking to the media, don't be because we can provide media training so you can speak with confidence and truly shine! On the big night we will be there managing the media desk and we will be in touch with the media to pass along the media kit and ensure the the review actually gets published.

Whether your budget is modest or you have serious marketing dough we will create a marketing strategy for your show based on who your target audience is. Click here to read more about our social media and communications services.

IN THE ARTS COMMUNITY

ARTSVOTE
ArtsVote was reformed in the fall of 2009 with two critical goals for the 2010 Toronto election: to communicate the value of the arts to incumbent and challenger candidates for Councillor and Mayor, and to mobilize artists and arts workers to vote for candidates who are committed to building a vibrant and cultured community. ArtsVote 2010 had three key tools: a Report Card (published and widely distributed in fall 2010), a phone/email “Get Out The Vote” campaign leading up to October 25, and a Mayoral Debate in partnership with Business for the Arts, the Toronto Arts Council, the Art Gallery of Ontario and Manifesto.

2011 HAROLD AWARDS

As a prior recipient, work included website creation, press release writing and dissemination, social media planning, update and maintenance, mailing list creation, interview search and secure, opening night invitations, media wrangling.
