The non-profit arts sector is facing very uncertain times, and the reality that it is time for a critical look at our funding model and strategic priorities as they relate to the long-term sustainability of our art is now, not later. My heart goes out to the musicians who woke up to the news that the work they depended on for their livelihoods had been taken away; by no means do my thoughts regarding our sectoral restructuring diminish the fact that the method by which they were notified is completely unjustifiable. We must do better as boards and administration. #nonprofitarts #kws #classicalmusic https://lnkd.in/g6sa_2qF

The sensitive but important issue of the future of successful arts and culture nonprofits is addressed in this piece. Is it time to change the model all together? Is what is happening in Los Angeles relevant to arts organizations in other cities? What about rural areas? The author asks, “Might the replacing of old models in the performing arts be a good thing that allows new, forward-thinking, flexibly adaptive organizations rooted in innovative performance models a chance to emerge?” #arts #artsorganizations #nonprofits

Anyone connected to the world of Non-Profits has been experiencing the challenges of funding and diminishing audiences & clients since pre-pandemic days. The pandemic focused a huge spotlight on this issue and the evidence is visible everywhere you look. I've seen local theaters shut down, or reinvent themselves in the past, but what's happening now is unprecedented. One of the moments in this article that stands out to me is that athletic events and concerts seem to have fewer issues coming back from the pandemic. I have said to colleagues before that many times the impetus to purchase a ticket to a show isn't about how much the ticket costs, many times it's about the priority of the ticket buyer. If anyone wants to do something, no matter the cost, they will find a way to make it work in most scenarios. Because if a teenager can afford a ticket to Taylor Swift they can certainly afford a $30-$40-$50 ticket to the theater (or more depending on your city). But is that the priority for how they want to spend their money? Same goes for anyone at any age. So how do we make theater a priority again for our existing audiences as well as the new audiences we desperately need? Do we need to be putting more content online? Do we need to focus less on "bread & butter" shows like My Fair Lady, Romeo & Juliet, etc. so we can present more new works that speak to our current lived experiences? What are the priorities for our audiences these days? These seem like simple questions, and in many ways they are. But how and when we ask is critically important because in many cases, if they haven't been asked yet, it may unfortunately be too late.

Learn success from mistakes not perfection. Learn leadership from a bad boss not a perfect one. Learn fundraising from getting a no vs always hearing yes. Because perfection doesn't offer growth. If you're frustrated with where you are... there's some advantage inherent to your situation. -- I have a friend who is a rock star. He learned to sell albums when everyone was buying iTunes songs. He knows more about sales than most salespeople I follow. -- Lin-Manuel Miranda couldn't get hired on broadway. He wanted to represent his Latino community in musical form, but there were no available roles... or musicals. So he spent 5 years of writing on nights and weekends while he was a substitute teacher. On March 9, 2008 "In the Heights" premiered and won a Grammy and 4 Tony Awards that same year. -- Ryan Holiday calls this mindset "The Obstacle is the Way." -- There's something about your #nonprofit right now that no one else has, or no one else sees. Today's the day to explore the advantage that only you see. #unlockgrowth

A brilliant article.
I’m sensing a theme… 🧐 Alex Ross outlines the pitfalls of engaging conductors as jet-setting celebrities in this compelling piece in The New Yorker. In contrast, he describes the impact Marin Alsop has had by committing to one city, and confirms that she deserves as much stardom as young phenoms. Interestingly, after quoting Mark Swed’s recent piece about Salonen and the SFS board, Ross ends an article about conductors this way: “What we need are administrators and board members who can make intelligent, artistically informed decisions about the possibilities that teem around them. In the realm of the arts, the powerful and the wealthy need to assume the mentality of listeners, aides, facilitators. This, not surprisingly, is hard for them to do.” Nailed it. 🎯 #orchestras #artsmanagement #nonprofits #artsjournalism

Job changes, and things that matter to me… Earlier today, clearing out my files in preparation for a handover later this year to my successor, I found a draft post entitled ‘Am I a fraud?’. Spoiler alert: the conclusion I was aiming for was that I am not, but it was interesting reading, given what has changed since I wrote it. The point of those 3 or 4 paragraphs, written last summer I think, was to examine the challenge of leading outside our own areas of expertise, about how to value our own expertise whilst mentoring specialists in their own fields. Re-reading it, my sense of being a fish out of water during my brief foray into the jazz world sat close to the surface. I wondered who I had been trying to convince – the reader, or the author?! Fast forward a year, and I am moving on – many of you have been kind enough to describe it as coming home, and I can’t really disagree. I am back at Gabrieli , working for a charity that I believe in more than any other I’ve worked for. From the staggering musicianship of our profesional artists to the audacious ambition of our youth singing programme – nothing about Gabrieli is understated, and I love it. I grew up surrounded by musical opportunity. Opportunity for learning, for growth, for fun. In a musical family, I lived in an area (and time) where youth orchestras and choirs were free to join. I remember being dumbfounded when I was told that in an adjacent county each ensemble cost £90 per term per child. I didn’t know you had to pay for such things. It could not be further from what most young people experience today. Gabrieli are determined to change that: developing one of the country’s leading youth singing programmes, this year alone we will work with 6000 teenagers. We have big ambitions for the future but to deliver these will need an army of loyal donors, funders and grant-makers. So, it’s time to get off my soapbox, to stop introspective worrying about my specialisms and skills and to do something totally outside my skill set… and get intraining for the Vitality 10k this summer, in aid of Gabrieli Roar. I am no runner, and this is not going to be pleasant. If you can chuck a few pennies my way, it will take the edge off the pain and I will be hugely grateful! https://lnkd.in/g8UCd2AU Thank you.
