World of Art Showcase Selects MMI Public Relations as Agency of Record

Local Firm Chosen to Lead Public Relations Campaign for International Art Show

Raleigh, NC, August 16, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Robert Buhler, president of MMI Public Relations, (http://mmipublicrelations.com) a public relations firm based in the Triangle region of North Carolina, has announced that the firm has been named the public relations agency for the World of Art Showcase (WOAS) (http://www.worldofartshowcase.com), an international art show sponsored by Jerry’s Artarama (http://www.jerrysartarama.com), dedicated to exhibiting talented artists and creating a community where artists have direct access to their market.

This November, the World of Art Showcase will host a highly-anticipated show in Raleigh designed to showcase budding and established international talent. Nearly 100 talented artists from all disciplines will be present on Friday, Nov. 1 through Sunday, Nov. 3 at the Raleigh Convention Center.

The World of Art Showcase is a fine art show that goes beyond a conventional exhibition to provide an intimate look at the life of the artist. The inception of the WOAS arose from a desire to redefine the role art plays in our society – to get back to the grassroots of what art stands for and to revolutionize the way the art market functions.

MMI will assist the World of Art Showcase in increasing its local brand awareness through a targeted public relations campaign that includes media relations, strategic planning and community relations.

Quotes:
“We are excited to work with World of Art Showcase to tell their story through promoting their brand and upcoming events,” said Buhler. “Their commitment to providing high-quality and unique artwork for the Raleigh community speaks to the cultural richness of this region and we are looking forward to helping World of Art Showcase welcome the public to this amazing show.”
