Collaborative Approaches to Booking Artists

Collaboration is important for people who book and present events, concerts, and theater productions. Working with neighboring venues provides quality arts experiences to your audiences and encourages a spirit of networking and community.

Presenters face many challenges when planning a season of arts programs. As a presenter, you want to strive to bring a variety of arts experiences to your community, to serve them well. But many pieces need to fall into place before you are ready to sign artists on the dotted line.

It’s not only the logistics of contracts, technical riders, or matching up openings in artists’ schedules with openings in your calendar. And it’s not only your need to gain approval from a programming committee or board of directors.
