20 Radio Announcements made the week prior to the Fair on WCLK. Embrace Director, Mark Karelson, was interviewed live on WCLK 91.9 FM Smooth Jazz!


We enlisted the help of several museums located within the region:
The embrace logo present on the Birmingham Museum of Art website and in the latest Birmingham Museum of Art email newsletter to 3,000 people. The Chattanooga African American Museum sent out 200 embrace invitations in their latest mailing. The Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History sent our 1,000 embrace flyers to their mailing list. The New Orleans Museum of Art included us in their e-newsletter. And, the Tubman Museum in Macon included embrace in their newsletter to 1,200 people. We also arranged a bus to pick up and drop off members of The Association of African and African American Museum Support Groups for the Opening Party. Mr. Benny Andrews agreed to be the Honorary Host for the Opening Party!


Presence on the NBAF Homepage. We were also displayed on the ArtNet Homepage the weekend before the event, and listed on the Special Events page, as well as their ArtNet News Page.

We also hired two PR firms that worked on promoting the Fair, plus 5 of our own fulltime employees.

We were lucky to have an incredible host committee that worked nonstop to get the word out via paper invitations and hundreds of evite blasts.


Finally, tickets to the Opening Party and the Fair were available online through the embrace website at www.embraceatl.com.
