WolfBrown publishes On Our Minds, our signature newsletter, about six times a year, and three specialty newsletters corresponding to specific communities of practice that we aim to support sector-wide. On Our Minds is a great way of keeping up with our consultants and the ideas and issues defining their work. Those of you interested in lifelong arts learning will want to subscribe to Amplifying Creative Opportunities. If research on audiences and audience development is an input to your work, sign up for Audience Outlook Monitor to get information about our free calendar of professional development activities. And if you’d like to keep abreast of new developments in immersive entertainment experiences, sign up for Immersed in the Future. We look forward to staying in touch.
