Description

You know which department at an arts organization shouldn’t be solely responsible for community engagement? Education. And you know which department usually isn’t revenue-generating but could be? Education. And you know how we can do that? Aubrey shares three ways this important team can become more lucrative for the institution, as well as gives examples of artists and organizations doing it already. Get ready to get educated.

This new podcast is about how to shake up the old way of arts management and compose a different tune: that there is a way to regain relevance and audiences, to make our organizations more inclusive, to develop high performing teams, to get younger attendees in the seats and on the donor rolls, and to generate hundreds of millions more dollars in revenue, all in order for arts and culture to flourish in a post-pandemic world. Hosted by “the Steve Jobs of classical music” (Observer) and “the Sheryl Sandberg of the Symphony” (LA Review of Books), each episode Aubrey Bergauer answers your questions about the offstage work of arts organizations and the administrators, artists, and board members who make them run.
