Moreover, it recommended a marketing and promotion plan for the Lubbock Fine Arts Center. The results showed that Americans' participation in art was under-represented. Art organizations needed to put in more effort to attract their audience. Therefore, the marketing concept was introduced to the art world, as well as to the Lubbock Fine Arts Center. It was recommended that the Lubbock Fine Arts Center should adopt a mission statement, establish a board of directors, and develop its own marketing audit system.application/pdfengArts -- United StatesArts surveys -- United StatesLubbock Fine Arts Center -- Public relationsThesis
