RUMFORD — The Teaberry Arts Council will host a new media marketing workshop targeting artists, artisans, crafts persons, musicians and performers, while any business can benefit from the information.

The workshop will provide the basics, and enhance and inspire participants to take the steps to grow their business through Web presence, websites, logos and other new media.

Stevie Milligan is a graduate of the University of Maine Orono with a degree in new media. He has nine years of experience in the field, and has worked at the Maine Arts Commission as technology director for more than three years. He has maintained the agency’s website on a day-to-day basis.

Milligan recently conducted workshops throughout the state. These workshops were designed as a primer for Maine artists hoping to create or purchase their own websites.

Interim president of the T.A.C. Scot Grassette said, “Steve’s experience through the Maine Arts Council will provide a perfect blend of information for artists and performers and any business who can use new and refresher information. This workshop will also provide networking opportunities for local businesses that share like needs, and may possibly use each other’s services as a business to business event.”

This free workshop is sponsored by the Teaberry Arts Council, Phenix Media and 49 Franklin Reception Hall. It will be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 6, at 49 Franklin in the Mystic Theater. Access is at the upper rear parking lot at 49 Franklin St. Opportunity will be available for those who would like to donate and/or join TAC.
