SUMMARY:SMASH!
DESCRIPTION:What is SMASH! anyway? \nOnce upon a time\, the Triangle’s artists rarely had a chance to celebrate their work.

Our brave art superheroes Networking Girl\, Media Man and Terrific TEAL came together to create an annual event where artists could celebrate\, network and dream of the future. It is the Triangle’s Art Party Of The Year. If you are an artist or work in the arts\, you are invited. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:SEEDS: Artist Management & Digital Marketing in a Streaming World
DESCRIPTION:Blair Clark\, CEO + Director of Marketing & Strategy at Brooklyn Basement Records\, manager of Ron Pope & Miko Marks  \nDo you even need a manager when streaming is king? How can you market to all the streaming platforms? Rissi and Blair talk about their experiences on both sides of the streaming issue. Listen to this if you want your music in everyone’s ears.  \nBlair Clark took a circuitous route to her career in music. While maintaining a full-time position in advertising in New York\, she began managing Ron Pope on the side\, shaping his career as it began to take off. She slowly took on a larger\, more central role in Pope’s project – helping with everything from merchandising and website design to fan engagement initiatives and album production. Proving herself to be an invaluable asset\, Blair quit her job in advertising to manage Ron full-time in 2012 and added other acts to her roster shortly thereafter. Her current roster includes Ron Pope\, Miko Marks\, & Emily Scott Robinson. \nIn addition to her work as a manager\, Blair co-founded Brooklyn Basement Records in 2015. The label was built around a DIY mentality and strives to take the knowledge garnered via years of success in the indie music sphere and apply it to the careers of each artist BBR partners with. With the needs of today’s artists in mind\, BBR has begun to function as a marketing agency for a growing roster of artists that want to retain ownership of their masters\, but need the support of a team behind their release. In 2021 she was named to the board of Directors for Rainey Day Fund\, which supports historically excluded & underrepresented artists in the roots and Americana space. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Arts Entrepreneurship Course-Autumn 2021
DESCRIPTION:Are you a mid-career crafts-person struggling to leave your day job or a new-to-the biz creative with dollar signs in your eyes?  \nJoin Triangle ArtWorks’ experienced instructors in an intensive business school-style experience aimed at you. From business structures to support systems\, from credit cards to cash flow\, this course will walk you through the process of creating a craft business that makes money. Each week you’ll work on activities and projects that lead you to a clear vision of your business and a business plan. You’ll leave the class with a binder full of worksheets\, ideas\, contacts and checklists and be energized to make your craft business succeed. \nThis course is based on the REAL Entrepreneurship courses program and is a hands-on\, activity-based experience. If you’ve tried to understand business principles before and been bored or frustrated\, this is for you. If you want tools to understand your own craft business better\, this is for you. You will learn to become a better networker\, how to set up a solid business structure\, and about financial structures that can help you make better business decisions.

This group will be an integral part of the course so membership is encouraged. \n\n\nBoth beginners and more experienced artisans can benefit from this course. \n\n\nParticipants are strongly encouraged to attend all sessions. \n\n\nThis course will be held on Zoom. Course handouts will be delivered digitally. \n\n\nThis course meets on Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 pm. \n\n\nAdditional course materials will be mailed to participant’s addresses. \n\n\nInstructors for the Autumn 2021 Session are Cynthia Deis and Tiffany Coley. \n\n\n	Related
