ArtsWave Debuts New App for Macy’s Arts Sampler
CINCINNATI (February 3, 2012) – ArtsWave announces its latest smartphone app, an interactive calendar for Macy’s Arts Sampler 2012. The free event-based app is available on all platforms and provides an easy way for everyone to find, choose, and plan for festival events that match their schedule, neighborhood, and household interests. Macy's Arts Sampler offers free theatre, music, dance, participatory activities in venues across the region over three Saturdays – February 11th and 25th, and March 10th.
In addition to a complete listing of Macy’s Arts Sampler events, the Sampler app includes show descriptions, a mapping function that provides directions to venues, and connections to Facebook and Twitter. Users can bookmark events to create a personalized schedule, and even make a donation to the ArtsWave community campaign directly from the app.
"Macy’s Arts Sampler is our signature event each year with over 100 free performances and activities all over the region" said Rebecca Bromels, ArtsWave’s Director of Communications. "We wanted to offer everyone the very latest technology to help them find favorite arts groups, events in their neighborhood, and the best activities to enjoy with family or friends.” Content will be updated in real time to keep audiences up-to-date on performances and any last-minute changes.
The Macy’s Arts Sampler app is built on an event content management application called Shindig. Shindig strives to provide event coordinators with intuitive tools that make organization of the event and outreach to event attendees as easy as possible.
ArtsWave sees the Macy’s Arts Sampler app as an opportunity to gauge the community’s interest in a year-round arts event calendar and app. “We know that there’s some desire for a collaborative arts calendar,” says Mary McCullough-Hudson, President and CEO of ArtsWave. “Public response to the Sampler app will provide us with important feedback on this idea and guide our next moves in this evolving medium.”
