Our Mission

BookAFlashMob.com is a nonprofit program of Misnomer, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to supporting the arts by bringing artists and the public together in innovative and meaningful ways.

Our BookAFlashMob program has to-date supported a community of over 30,000 artists across the USA and abroad by providing them with new, paid opportunities to perform and thus to better support themselves through their art!

This work is vitally important for artists, who are more vulnerable than ever.  As we work with dance, theater and music artists on producing original flash mobs, we teach valuable skills around how to work directly with companies and individuals to offer personal live events, providing artists with lead generation, booking, contracting, legal, insurance and management skills and support. Beyond earning revenue, this can be an empowering and even liberating experience according to first-hand feedback from the artists we serve. We are proud of this work, which we know is meaningful and much needed in our field.

  • All proceeds go directly toward our programs supporting and training artists, creating more opportunities for artists to perform meaningful events and give visibility to the arts.
  • We are run by artists for artists. (Neat, huh?)
  • We have helped over 30,000 artists to make more of their living through their art!
