An Elegant Process The Artistic Process/The Planning Process
An Elegant Process: The Artistic Process/The Planning Process is about the most elegant concept and process that we know – the artistic process. Most of all it is about the practical application of the artistic process to everything an arts organization does, especially planning. The first part of this publication, The Artistic Process—A Unifying Principle, outlines the conceptual underpinnings, practical anatomy and character of the artistic process; how it is both unique to each individual arts organization and yet applicable to all. The second part, Arts Planning, extends the artistic process into a planning framework and suggests practical approaches and applications. |

Growing AUDIENCES
Creating Value, Meaning and Energy
Growing AUDIENCES Creating Value, Meaning and Energy is a publication and body of work resulting from extensive engagement with audience participation conducted by ARTS Action Research in North Carolina through the North Carolina Arts Council’s START Initiative, in New York through the Alliance of Resident Theaters/New York’s Theatre Leadership Institute, and in New Jersey through the New Jersey Council on the Arts’ Building Arts Participation Initiative. As audience behaviors have changed more in the last 5 to 10 years than the last 30 to 40, Growing AUDIENCES examines some of the complex causes driving these changes and offers perspectives, concepts and new tools for reframing and understanding audience behaviors and relationships. It will help you plan, set priorities, create strategies, and build your audience relationships. Growing AUDIENCES will show you how to reframe, renew and grow your audiences. |
