Imagine transforming your artistic passion—be it music, painting, writing, or design—into a lucrative business that not only satisfies your soul but also fills your pockets. Sounds dreamy, right?
It’s completely attainable if you know the right steps to take. Arts Alive guides you through a series of crucial steps designed to help you successfully commercialize your creative skills:
Arts Alive is finding more regularity with our Arts Ambassador meetups and we encourage art lovers and supporters to join us, and sign up for the Arts Ambassador program!
Rory Hurley and Eddie Gomez started their company, Drum Production Studios in Peterborough, to be able to use their creative skills in dance, music and translate them to video to help people deliver their message to audiences. When the pandemic led to clients cancelling live events, effectively emptying their calendar, the partners changed tack and began livestreaming. This helped them continue to keep audiences engaged and inspired during very difficult times. We’re proud to share Rory and Eddie’s story, in their own words.
A spotlight on a local organization that was incubated by Arts Alive!’s fiscal sponsorship arts incubation program. “(The program) was Instrumental in us being able to establish and operate as a nonprofit,” said Burns. “We learned important lessons to operate as a legal entity. It allowed us to start to build our organization around what we were doing, organize, establish plans and garner the support of the community. (Arts Alive!) provided a sounding board and was a source of advice.”
Creatives are finding strength in community and dreaming and building towards the future. In this account, we hear from Dan Scully. He is an architect who has made his mark on downtown Keene in many ways. He was also in our first cohort of Ewing Arts Awardees. We’re proud to share this story of creating The Showroom, the newest addition to the Colonial Performing Arts Center, from architect Dan Scully.
These continue to be unprecedented, uncertain times yet artists are finding strength in community and creativity. In this account, we hear from Jazimina MacNeil. She is a mezzo-soprano by trade and training, who finds herself wearing the hat of an actress and/or a writer from time to time. Lately, Jazimina has taken to calling herself a “creative catalyst” as well.
We’re proud to share this story of Jazimina, in her own words.
During the Month of October Arts Alive is collecting stories from performing arts organizations across the Monadnock Region to ask - how are you holding up? This is the second of three stories this month that will highlight the innovations, inspiration, hope, and connection these organizations are still fostering, even in difficult times. We started with Keene State College’s Redfern Arts Center. This story is about the Peterborough Players as told by Tom Frey.
