Give us a Boost! It's uncomfortable, but let's talk money. The arts are chronically underfunded and running a festival like NZIF 2023, with a board and proper staffing and quality delivery, isn't free. Production costs, personnel, contractors, venue hire, marketing - it all adds up. Some of that money comes from ticket sales and workshop registrations, other comes from grants and sponsorship. And this year, we unfortunately missed out on a pretty big funding grant from CNZ's Festival Grants; it was the first time they split festivals off into their own round and even still, it was hugely oversubscribed with a 30% success rate for applicants. This means we need to get a little more creative in making sure we get this year's event over the line, and that's where you come in. We are running a boosted campaign with a $20,000 target for NZIF 2023 and the NZ Improvisation Trust, with 75% going towards the festival and 25% towards operating costs of the board. If you can support us with a donation, we'd be thrilled. If you can support us by sharing this link with your improv-friendly networks, we'll be just as thrilled. https://lnkd.in/gPjQNpWT "Having an annual event like NZIF keeps the passion for improv alive. As well as giving practitioners the opportunity to try something new and hone their craft, it allows us to become inspired by watching shows created by some of the best talent in the country." - 2021 Festival Participant

Grimalkin Records is looking for a QTBIPOC sound engineer to run sound for our 3rd annual festival in Richmond, VA. It's on October 12-13 at Basic City Beer Co. The equipment there isn't great so we were hoping to hire someone who also has equipment to ensure good sound. Last year, Musiq Cultura RVA ran sound for us. Rei was great, but this year they aren't available for both days and we're trying to keep the sound consistent. Rei is going to play the day they're available instead. Ideally, we would like to record it from the soundboard as well. Oct 12 is 4pm-midnight and Oct 13 is 4pm-10pm. I know the manager Alex there and he said we can leave everything securely overnight from the 12th to the 13th. We can guarantee a minimum of $400 per day. We're fundraising and so it depends on if we reach our goal if we can pay more. Last year we guaranteed Rei the same rate, but we were able to pay them $500 a day after we saw what we raised in total after the festival. This may not be great pay. We're a nonprofit and so anything additional could be an in-kind donation. I know that doesn't pay the bills though. If you are interested or know someone who is, please email grimkells@grimalkinrecords.com. Grimalkin Fest is a manifestation of our mission and a celebration of Queer Joy and Resilience through a sharing of music, skills, resources and connections. It also supports, uplifts, and cultivates relationships with musicians, other creatives, community partners, and our communities. Last year, our festival’s budget was $12,600. Over $10,000 went directly to the performers and folks working at and planning the event. That's 86% of our budget going directly to artists and folks working the fest, which is unheard of as far as I know for festivals. Our goal is to raise $26,000 to expand this year’s festival budget. Achieving this goal will allow us to: *Compensate folks for travel *Provide food and snacks *Rent a house for out-of-town performers *Purchase decorations, supplies, posters, and locally silk-screened shirts *Hire a video editor for the virtual live-streamed day *Compensate event planners *Hire a consultant to assist the volunteer coordinator *Rent Starlink equipment to live-stream events happening during the two in-person days *Increase compensation for performers and folks working at the fest Last year, our budget didn’t allow us to compensate travel costs, provide full meals for performers, workers and volunteers, fairly compensate event planners, hire a consultant to assist volunteers, nor rent a Starlink to live stream the in-person days. A budget increase will. https://lnkd.in/emDMDwyJ

As another spectacular #glastonburyfestival draws to a close, local grassroots music venue & community centre RED BRICK BUILDING CENTRE LIMITED has just 29 days left to reach its target to make essential structural repairs and continue offering vital community services and championing future musicians. Without the chance to play in grassroots music venues like the Red Brick Building there wouldn't be half of the major artists, they wouldn't have the fans and the future of big festivals, like Glastonbury, would be in jeopardy. The Red Brick Building is a community owned social enterprise offering a vibrant and creative space where everyone is welcome. For these urgent repair works the estimated cost per pillar is £9,000 and they need eight pillars repaired. The additional cost of the floor repairs take the total to approximately £117,000. They need to raise these funds quickly to complete the work during their quietest time of the year, July and August and ensure they can continue running by fully reopening in September. Please help by: - Spreading the word and sharing this to those who value the Red Brick Building community centre and local grassroots music venues. - Supporting them with a donation to help raise funds to rebuild the pillars https://lnkd.in/euTWAqaq Your donation will help secure the structural integrity of the Red Brick Building and allow them to continue offering vital community services which include creating spaces for work, wellbeing, and enrichment, and offering opportunities in arts, education, and enterprise. By collaborating with like-minded organisations such as Glastonbury Mental Health Network, Feed Avalon, and YMCA, they achieve outcomes such as increased confidence, improved wellbeing, enhanced skills and education, and cultural experiences. These contributions lead to long-term benefits such as reduced isolation, increased employability, raised aspirations, a stronger local economy, improved mental health, and a more resilient community.

My latest column in the National Post. Festival after festival across Canada is heading to the edge of the fiscal cliff. Edmonton’s Fringe Festival and Toronto’s Hot Docs report massive deficits and dire straits ahead without an infusion of funds. Just for Laughs has been forced to cancel festivals in Toronto and Montreal. In a post-pandemic world, festivals are vulnerable; many find themselves precariously caught in the financial squeeze of spiralling inflation and reduced government largesse. And yet, there are festivals that have figured out ways over the hurdles — most notably, the Stratford Festival, Canada’s largest not-for-profit theatre company. Here’s some insight into how they do it. #nonprofits #notforprofit #governance https://lnkd.in/gEJwFkiQ

Dear friends - 1.5 months are trying to raise money for an all day music and arts festival in September.The event will be free, although we will welcome donations - all the money we collect through our funding will go to paying for the venue, engineer, to the artists participating and allowing anyone irrespective of funds to attend. We have always self funded and all profits from our events go to those participating. Proceeds from our events are never large and we never feel we pay artists enough. This is a common theme for people running small events and artists who spend hours making and working on their art. As Astra Taylor writes in The People's Platform there is a notion that if you make art you do it for the love of it and that somehow means that you don’t mind not being paid properly for what you do. But artist’s need to survive in capitalism too! It always struck me that during covid, everyone wanted to be able to get back out and congregate and hear music again, yet it was the capitalist system that was propped up during that time and musicians and artists were told too retrain. We are not sure that our model of funding for our festival will work, or whether it is the right model. It’s also difficult asking for funds when there are so many needful peoples and groups, and we appreciate that people my not want to support us. Please let me know what you think of our approach. We’d also be really interested to talk with other DIY/self funding promoters on further ideas as to how we can all increase monies for artists and support artists in our communities, much love and peace RFxxx https://lnkd.in/e_YNQvmv https://lnkd.in/eqzJMz4D

What makes Glastonbury Festival magical? Is it the ley lines? The wonder of mid-summer when you live in a seasonal climate? The star-studded line-up? The answer could lie in a powerful concept: ‘Start with Why’. In his book ‘Start with Why’, Simon Sinek emphasises that success isn’t just about what you do; it’s about why you do it. He argues this helps great leaders inspire everyone to take action. Listening to the BBC’s documentary ‘Glastonbury: 50 years and counting’, it’s clear that Michael Eavis, the festival’s founder, had a strong sense of purpose. This led to the festival championing social and political causes, supporting organisations like the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. This attracted artists, workers and punters who aligned with its values. Michael’s ‘why’ made the event a great fit for the BBC, who began streaming it live in 1997. This catapulted Glastonbury into the mainstream. By 1999, the festival attracted over 100,000 people. As the BBC coverage brought the festival into the nation’s front rooms, the festival’s appeal passed a tipping point. It allowed millions more of us to join in the fun from the comfort of our sofas. Author Malcolm Gladwell refers to a tipping point as the moment of critical mass where ideas, products and behaviours spread like viruses do. To pass the tipping point, go mass market AND maintain that Glastonbury magic - now that's something special. It's something that seems to have come naturally to Michael Eavis, who's more of a custodian of the festival, than its leader. That’s probably also a large part of its success. Michael Eavis, now 88, and his daughter Emily, have kept their family’s values at the heart of the festival, which helped them raise a whopping £3.7 million for charities in 2023. Glastonbury reminds us that truly innovative people and organisations have a clear purpose and can inspire action. Whether you’re watching from Worthy Farm or enjoying the magic from your sofa, remember: it all seems to have started with its founder Michael's ‘why’. https://lnkd.in/e7RbfkTd #GlastonburyFestival #SimonSinek #MalcolmGladwell

🎵 What would be on your playlist if you had a concert at work?🤘 Last week, we threw one of our best events ever - Playlistapolooza! The C+R Research office was transformed into a music paradise as our employees rocked their favorite band merch and jammed out all day long! 🤘🎵 But this wasn't just any ordinary office party. We created a company-wide playlist filled with songs our creative and thoughtful employees requested. And guess what? We used our love for music to impact our community positively, trading songs near and dear to our hearts for small donations. In so doing, we raised money for the incredible Merit School of Music, helping to provide music education to Chicago's talented youth! In the end, this event brought us all together, sparking fantastic conversations and building connections like never before! We learned so much about each other's musical tastes, and let's just say, we have some serious playlist curators in our midst! So, here's the deal: we want to know YOUR must-play song for your company's epic playlist! 🎶 Drop it in the comments below, and let's keep the music train rolling! 🎧🎵 #Playlistapolooza #MusicEducation #ConnectingThroughMusic #CRResearch #ChicagoJobs #MRX #MarketResearch #BestPlacesToWork

I just posted this on a Guardian article about the state of the UK music ecosystem, specifically the plight of smaller venues. Most people don’t realise that beneath these ‘grassroots venues’ are the actual grassroots venues. Around 95% of UK music is performed in non dedicated music venues like, pubs, social clubs, churches, community halls etc. THESE are the actual grassroots below the ‘official’ grassroots venues. Sure, they don’t have the kind of outgoings the size of an actual venue but they do have some, (venue hire, advertising, website fees, equipment purchase and maintenance etc) which are often paid for by the volunteers who run the nights, when times get hard. With absolutely zero help in the post Covid ‘Culture Recovery Fund’ many of these clubs have folded because the money has simply run out. What kind of government allows this to happen? I started a charity to help exactly these venues. So far we’ve helped 15 of them. Jazz is my area (I can’t help everyone). If it’s yours too then please consider donating. 100% of donations goes straight to the clubs. I don’t take a wage for this. Thanks https://lnkd.in/e-EmyUEv
