Description

The need for diversity in our audience and for the audience to reflect the community is a hot topic in the arts these days. And rightfully so. There is a moral imperative to do this work at arts organizations, but I am also a fan of the business case for diversity. And in this episode, we are talking about what the numbers look like if and when the audience actually does look like the community — and wow, is there money on the table when the audience becomes more diverse.This episode looks at just how many more tickets would be sold in a year if your audience makeup mirrored that of your community, or at least came close. We talk through the numbers, and I have a free download that does the math for you so you don’t have to.

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.
