Hello! ?? We at Benvenuti Arts have been supporting artists and small arts organizations for almost 10 years, focusing on practical, tactical fundraising and administrative services. It’s clear to us, after all of this time, that fewer financial resources does not equate to lesser work; smaller groups are often so focused on their communities that things like grant writing, donor cultivation, or financial planning must be deprioritized. We want to help, even if you don’t have the resources to work with us directly. It’s with that in mind that we are relaunching our communications channels! With a core value to be of service to the small and mighty arts organizations and artists out there, we will continue with our consulting and capacity building services while building out our public channels to also provide some practical tools to anyone who needs them. It is our hope that more groups can benefit, even if they are not our direct client. So if you are looking for: ?? Industry articles along with our own thoughts, follow us here on LinkedIn. ?? Practical tools and tips for arts administrators, as well as BA’s take on industry occurrences, check out our Blog.? ?? Monthly lists of upcoming grants, links to resources, and other advice targeted to small arts groups and independent artists, sign up for our monthly newsletter.? ? Snippets from our trainings and workshops, and features from our clients, follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Additionally, our Clients and Members receive monthly emails with insights and guidance just for them. ??♀? We want to keep this information simple, informative, and, above all, practical. Just like our work with clients, these tools only work if you are able to actually use them! So we hope you’ll engage, provide feedback, and share anything you feel was useful to you. We’ll see you online! ?? ?? #benvenutiarts?#fundraising?#artsmanagement?#IndieSpaceNYC?#gallim?#choralcameleon?#developingartists?#sozowithus?#AlphabetRockers?#BloomingdaleSchoolOfMusic?#frigidnyc?#kr3ts?#forgottenfutures?#btfa?#concerttheatreworks?#braataproductions

Here's something new to get involved in, for those interested in #history, #flying, #nonprofit or #philanthropy, #technology or #art. A little something for everyone!

Here are some places your business could expand its reach that you may not be thinking about.?? Local sports teams/events - Sponsorship can get your name in front of audiences through signage, swag, and mentions. Great for businesses serving those communities. ?? Places of worship - Ask about promoting relevant services/classes to congregations through bulletins, emails, and event boards. Local radio - Consider underwriting a community program or public station. Mentioning your business regularly boosts name recognition. Nextdoor also can be a great place. Additional ideas: Schools, coffee shops, music venues, alma maters, retiree associations, local podcasts/newsletters, chamber of commerce, charity/non-profit events. #ConnectWithCommunity #LocalSportsTeams #LocalEvents #SponsorshipOpportunities #PlacesOfWorship #LocalRadioAdvertisement

When it comes to community engagement, good arts organisations punch way above their weight. I mean the type of engagement services would kill for. Here are some generalisations made from my lived experience of being involved in the community arts sector for many years… ??Artists are usually really invested in their practice – whether they get paid for it or not, and if part of that practice involves genuine engagement then they are equally invested in that outcome. ??They work bloody hard – often in cycles which people don’t always see. ??They are also often interested in the deeper things that matter to us as humans – the ‘soul’ and despite what some funding bodies might think, I know from my years at Milk Crate Theatre that ‘soul’ piece was very, very important to those who were struggling. It’s often overlooked. ??In complex times, art will ask the hard questions of us, and bring us together to feel our collective spirit. As noted in Jade Lillie and collaborators gloriously titled book "The relationship is the project" - “Community-engaged practice is not an art form. It’s not an add-on. It’s a way of working; a deep collaboration” And yet the funding for it in Australia is staggeringly low. As the recent "Artists as Workers: An economic study of professional artists in Australia" report demonstrated, many artists make their work and live below the poverty line to do so. After being affiliated for a few years, I recently joined the volunteer Executive Committee for Whale Chorus, a local Newcastle-based theatre company. I believe in this company and its vision. Like most arts organisations, it is run on the smell of an oily rag, combined with exceptional skill, passion and commitment. If you want to see what outcomes look like from a tiny, but committed local arts organisation -?its role in the local community ecosystem – check out Whale Chorus’ Annual Report. The ratio of size to impact is pretty staggering. If it works for you, please support this important work to continue by going to the website https://whalechorus.com/ and making a tax-deductible donation.?Janie Gibson Katerina Skoumbas #localart #placebasedarts #whalechorus

There are 3 groups of people I will champion until the day I die: 1?? senior citizens, 2?? young people, and 3?? anyone who could be a Special Olympian. On May 30, I will be donating my time to speak at Big Hearts for Seniors, a wonderful event that raises much-needed funds for senior citizens, and I could not be more excited! The theme of the event is LOVE STORIES and let me tell you, it will be a miracle if I make it to the end of my story without love running down my cheeks and puddling on stage. This is a big event with 7 people sharing from the depths of their hearts, so think of it as a night of live storytelling, connection, and entertainment with a very important purpose. The only way we are going to help seniors is to: ?? fill the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater/Michigan League in Ann Arbor with big-hearted people like YOU, (tickets are on sale NOW, it's on May 30 at 7:00pm) ?? bid on the silent auction items between May 23-30 (just NOT the stuff I'm bidding on!??) ?? and find individuals & businesses to sponsor the event (sponsors receive a host of benefits including 2 tickets, and if you sponsor before April 26, your info will be in event emails). Information about all of the above is on the website below. (I didn't add the site to this narrative, in hopes that LinkedIn will push this out to more people). You can also help by sharing this entire post, inviting people from groups or churches you belong to, and reaching out to me or the event hosts for more info. Let's do this! ?????? #seniorcare #storytelling #professionalspeaker

Happy Public Media Giving Days! We asked artist Justice Dwight, their favorite thing about public media, here's what they had to say! "I think my favorite thing about public media is the storytelling aspect. I learn about a variety of people, which is always interesting. The more stories that are told the more others are encouraged to share their own narratives. Public media has shaped my life in a few different ways. I think for me it’s really a great way to receive information. What you do with the information you receive is up to you. I feel positively influenced and inspired especially when I see spotlights on positive things happening in our community and it further pushes me to want to be involved. People should support public media because it’s ultimately a tool that you can utilize any way you see fit. I personally think it keeps us connected through accurate storytelling and through that we are all learning and growing." You can share your support for Public Media Giving Days by supporting your local member station and by donating here: https://bit.ly/44u0tQT.
