Abstract

The transformation of arts marketing from traditional, institutionally driven methods to digital-based strategies has fundamentally reshaped how art is produced, distributed, and consumed. Historically, arts marketing has mirrored consumer marketing techniques such as word - of - mouth promotion and demographic segmentation. These techniques have reinforced the dominance of Western narratives in global art discourse, excluding many voices from emerging cultures and marginalized communities. However, the advent of digital technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), social media, and the metaverse, has disrupted this model, offering more inclusive and democratized avenues for engagement. This study delves into the evolution of arts marketing, with a particular focus on the digital paradigm shift. Drawing on insights from existing literature, it finds that while AI and digital platforms enhance accessibility and foster inclusivity, they also raise concerns regarding authenticity, commercialization, and algorithmic bias. As such, a cautious and ethically informed adoption of these technologies is essential for the future of arts marketing.
