The community of artists worldwide that we support through our BookAFlashMob non-profit program is extensive.
A few of the ways in which we work around the clock to support a community of top-tier dance, theater and music artists includes:
- Training artists in producing, contracting, marketing and booking skills;
- Creating learning centers and resources for artists, such as our Successful Artist Marketing Program created with support from The Rockefeller Foundation;
- Developing free artist booking kits and programs to help working artists achieve greater self-sufficiency;
- Coaching artists one-on-one to help them advance their careers and to address specific needs of individual artists;
- Commissioning the creation of hundreds of new live choreographies;
- Providing new performance opportunities for over 20,000 performers to date;
- Teaching free workshops to artists and giving talks for artists at arts conferences and arts service organizations nationwide, such as Dance/USA, Chicago Artists Coalition and the National Arts Marketing Program.
Our staff is comprised of artists and former artists, and we love hearing directly from artists about the impact that BookAFlashMob has had on their work.
