Excuses for arts audience development?

Posted by Shoshana 
· Monday, January 28th, 2013 

Excuses, excuses. We may want to accomplish something, however, as humans, we also tend to make excuses.  We want to grow as individuals and artists, to better our art and organizations, yet we ourselves build road blocks to our success.  Silly humans!  So, I wanted to talk about two of the biggest excuses for why people do not start audience development planning and programs.  For my email subscribers, you will need to click on the web link to take you to the page to listen.

Any comments and feedback are appreciated.  Happy Monday to you too!

Alexis Del Palazzo

“I was excited to finally be able to have a consultation with Shoshana of Audience Development Specialists after following and interacting with her over twitter for some time. I had recognized that I needed to consult with a professional to focus my priorities, and my session with Shoshana did just that. I presented my ideas to Shoshana, and she was able to help me prioritize my ideas. ADS gave me the direction I needed to begin teaching via Skype, and I now have inquiries coming in from all over the world. It's hard enough to manage everything as a freelance musician. I will utilize Audience Development Specialists again when I need guidance on the next step to take.” —Alexis Del Palazzo
