ADVOCACY
AUGUST DANCE AWARENESS MONTH
The ADAM Arts Initiative
Established in 2008 by J. Mina Rios
ADAM INITIATIVE MISSION
To create more dialogue in local dance communities; educate the public about funding limitations; and stimulate year-round dance performance patronage.
SYNOPSIS
Mina Communications launched the August Dance Awareness Month campaign/initiative (ADAM) in San Diego in 2008. Aimed at stimulating local interest in dance, Mina Communications partnered with Dance San Diego Magazine to create an open/ongoing dialogue with the local dance community and establish partnerships with neighboring businesses and non-profits to help strengthen campaign efforts. Inspired by Eveoke Dance Theatre's 3-day Celebrate Dance Festival (CDF), held each August in San Diego's Balboa Park, ADAM would become an extension of Eveoke's weekend event, whereby performances, workshops, dance film presentations, and mixers would be held throughout the month of August. The launch of ADAM was very well-received among local media, businesses, the dance community, and Congresswoman Susan Davis, who kindly provided a written endorsement for the ADAM campaign/initiative (shown below).
If you would like to introduce the ADAM campaign/initiative to your arts community, please inquire. Call 619.851.3920 or email m.rios@minacommunications.org
