• Assist in drafting and sending weekly newsletters and fundraising and campaign emails to Roulette’s subscribers via MailChimp.
• Draft and send press releases promoting upcoming performances.
• Update and maintain listings on event calendars; keep list of outlets up-to-date.
• Compile and archive press clippings.
• Respond to press inquiries and occasionally liaise with press in person at performances (would be scheduled and agreed upon in advance).
• Communicate with artists and update concert event pages on WordPress, when necessary, to reflect changes to personnel or programming for upcoming performances.
• Follow up with artists to obtain information for printed programs; occasionally draft printed programs in InDesign.
• Hire and supervise freelance photographers as necessary to document performances.
• As needed, create and design graphics for YouTube and Vimeo livestreams.
• Compile data on livestream views.
• As needed/requested, create/update signage and other promotional displays for the performance space.
• Participate in creative meetings with other staff members and Artistic leadership.
