In our continuing
quest to track art museum tie-ins designed by marketers to attract audiences, how
about this effort from the Denver Museum? The exhibition coming up was BecomingVan Gogh. What do you think the team came up with to get more cash in the till?
Who guessed a specially brewed beer along
with a name-the-beer competition offering a prize of free tickets, a Van Gogh
t-shirt and discount voucher? Very Vincent.
Still could have been worse, they might
have teamed up with Mademan.com and had their absinthe-based cocktail Van
Gogh’s ear (fill a Collins glass with ice and dribble two oz. of absinthe
slowly into the glass. Add a slice of lemon and pour grapefruit juice into the
glass. Swirl in an oz. of grenadine) on offer at the door.
