Thanksgiving is around the corner now. This week, let’s get into gratitude gear and be thankful for all the good in our lives.

I am thankful for you, my friends, colleagues, and readers, who have allowed me to continue to share my audience development for the arts journey with you. I am grateful for the company over the past 10 years (yes, I hit the big 10 in 2018), and I have enjoyed every moment of comments, feedback and reciprocal sharing that has come back to me.

If you have enjoyed my posts and other free offerings over the years, I hope you will honor me with an easy way to thank me back. It’s free!

The organization that put me on the road to audience development for the arts (11 years ago) is the Boulder County Arts Alliance. I am serving on their board with one year left of my two term limit. We have been chosen as one of 16 organizations in the First Western’s #WealthisAbout contest. From now until November 27, you can vote once a day to help us reach the final round. Go to this link to vote: http://wshe.es/0rjErIbT. 

So please consider voting. It will give us the opportunity to be a finalist for a $7,000 grant! BCAA has always been on the cutting edge of arts business education. They were one of the first in the United States to have an audience development program back in 2006. I would not be here today with Audience Development Specialists, helping artists and arts organizations all over the world build audiences and support, without them.

Thank you in advance for voting, and again, thank you for being with me on this journey!

Cheers to happy and loyal audiences,
Shoshana
