ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Arts CafΓ©
Dr. Mark Tonelli,
Assistant Professor, School of Music
One of the best events that ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Arts CafΓ© produced this year was our St. Patrickβs Day concert, which featured the Irish band Broken Brogue and Irish dancer, Rachel Aupperle. This event included a couple of βfirstsβ for our venture: it was our largest crowd and it was the first profitable event for Arts CafΓ©. These successes can be attributed our joint marketing efforts with the band through social media. We gained exposure to the Decatur community, which led to a diverse age group in attendance. The students in our venture worked to find multiple ways to take Arts CafΓ© to a new level with this event, and it marks a significant time in our venturesβ development.
