The Audience Connections Class you have been hearing clips from since August had their final on December 10, so here they are this week for the last time. Below is the main part of their final, which was a challenge…….
Based on what we have delved into, create a hypothetical new Arts related organization that will benefit a community. Base it on our debates, your research throughout the semester, and make sure it includes both intrinsic and instrumental elements as outlined in the Rand Report – Gifts of the Muse. Most importantly…DREAM BIG!!!!
First up Kelsey who is proposing an organization that is an advocacy group for Arts Administrators, so that the public can view them as an entity. An interesting idea in that it promotes the behind the scenes personnel as a group also worthy of support. Let’s face it, so much money is spent on management and operations, but it is necessary in order for performances/exhibitions can happen. So to put administrators in a positive light definitely would help educate and advocate why they need to be supported!

Next up Kristy who was excited about her “dream job” which is to head up an organization that finds sponsorship to produce events by artists and performers/groups in which the proceeds then go to designated outreach projects. So the arts in this case would act as an intermediary whichcreates a relevant connection to community projects as well as helping to promote their art forms and work. This speaks to the idea of being involved with community issues and problems which can help the arts become more relevant!

Amanda’s organization is a Symphony. I was a little worried because I wasn’t hearing anything new at first, and then boom! She has a great idea towards the end of the first clip, and then overall she is interested in a very transparent organization that everyone can see through, and that has an instruction based music education program.
