The 3 Things You Must Do Now to Be Ready for the New Normal

PRESENTER:
Paul Miller

By mid-April, the early availability of a vaccine will start to release us from the artistic and social purgatory of Covid-19. When the time comes for arts and culture organizations to safely reopen again…and it WILL come… ours will be a vastly different industry in a slightly different world.

In this webinar, consultant Paul Miller will tell us what to expect, how to prepare, and what we should do right now to welcome back our old patrons and attract some new ones.

We'll focus on three big ideas that should make each of us rethink our programming, our outreach, and our mission. It will be a time of change that challenges us like never before, but it's also a singular moment of great opportunity and possibility. We get one shot to get this right, so don't miss your chance to get a glimpse of our exciting, post-pandemic future.

Building and Nurturing Your Virtual Audience

PRESENTERS:
Sendie Brunard & Karen Elizondo

Although we can’t welcome audiences in-person the way we used to, arts organizations are still connecting with existing patrons and even finding new ones virtually. But how can organizations maintain those connections as they navigate the disruption of live performances? This session explores practical data management strategies for maintaining connections and loyalty with patrons now, and how to channel those connections to help bring patrons back when venues reopen more fully.

This session covers a mix of strategic and tactical data management approaches and is especially applicable to marketing and development professionals in any role. Industry data and recommendations are based on Building Blocks for Reopening, a practical relationship management field guide from Spektrix.

(Webinars and Roundtables are at 11:00 a.m. PST. You will receive recordings of all webinars and roundtables.)

The Wallace Foundation seeks to improve education and enrichment for disadvantaged children and foster the vitality of arts for everyone. The foundation has an unusual approach: funding efforts to test innovative ideas for solving important public problems, conducting research to find out what works and what doesn’t and to fill key knowledge gaps – and then communicating the results to help others. Wallace, which works nationally, has five major initiatives under way:

School leadership: Strengthening education leadership to improve student achievement.
Afterschool: Helping selected cities make good afterschool programs available to many more children.
Building audiences for the arts: Enabling arts organizations to bring the arts to a broader and more diverse group of people.
Arts education: Expanding arts learning opportunities for children and teens.
Summer and expanded learning: Better understanding the impact of high-quality summer learning programs on disadvantaged children, and enriching and expanding the school day in ways that benefit students.
