#CelebrateOhioArts
During November 2017, POBA co-launches the first #CelebrateOhioArts, a tribute to Ohio artists and arts museums in an exciting, month-long campaign. The program was created by the Ohio Museums Association and POBA in collaboration with the Ohio Arts Council.
Through the hashtags #CelebrateOhioArts and #OhioMuseums, all participating arts museums in Ohio will be able to highlight, display and promote the cultural richness and diversity of Ohio to Ohioans and to a wide national audience. Each participating museum can display up to three artists from their collections on POBA during this campaign, and new artists and institutions will be added regularly.
Additionally, the program will build recognition and support for Ohio arts through a social media campaign using the hashtag #CelebrateOhioArts on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook and will benefit from traditional PR as well.
Created specifically for Ohio in partnership with POBA | Where the Arts Live, #CelebrateOhioArts is builds upon POBA’s longstanding partnership with the Ohio Arts Council.
