SESSION DESCRIPTION

In this 60-minute session, Anne led discussions to assess your concert series programming with a focus on understanding how effectively your artist lineup resonated with and reflected your community.

What shows were most successful this series and why? Is there a genre our lineup did not include this year, but we’d like to next year? How do we find the right acts that resonate with our audience AND create musical discovery, while aligning with our budget?

This session explored strategies for artist discovery that align with both artistic vision and budget constraints. We considered how peer organizations select their artists, shared tools for finding emerging and established talent, and explored how to approach the offer-making process during the early stages of curation.
