Aites so continuing on from yesterday - I think venues and orgs like @rawartists are great for new and well established artists, but not for those who are still in the process of growing and cultivating their fanbase 🤔 here’s why: . For a new artist, this is a great opportunity to network, but more so a great opportunity for photos and future marketing materials (as well as building some credibility). If you’re entering the music or dance scene especially, bring a photographer buddy with you to get portraits, banner photos, website photos, and some action shots. Most photographers can also do some basic video work too so try to get some recording in . Don’t try to sell a bajillion tickets or make a huge profit - just focus on creating resources to use for the future . For the well established artists, this is a great opportunity to connect with your fanbase - you’ll get way more long term value by getting more people there than trying to max your income from ticket sales - YOUR FANS AND ADVOCATES ARE YOUR GREATEST ASSETS! This is a very convenient opportunity for you to connect with them in person all at the same place and time and at an appropriate context to talk about your art :) . I recommend selling discount tickets at quantity so people buy in groups and invite friends - it’s worth giving up a little profit to get more people to the venue. ALSO - if you can consistently bring a lot of people to shows, you can very likely negotiate a discount on the venue fee since they’ll generate more beverage sales - that means you’ll make a higher profit margin down the road by reducing overhead cost . If you have any questions or want more insights feel free to DM - there’s only so much info Ican fit into a caption 🙈 ahahahas . #rawartistshowcase #rawartistsoc #rawartist #rawartists #hiphopchoreography #dancecrew #dancechoreography #dancechoreo #instastory #instavideos #instastories #instavids #dailyvlog #lastory #vlogdude (at Raw Artists: Orange County) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwsWPYsBDkd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=srp5er03lelp

I know a bunch of my followers are artists of some sort (photographers, musicians, illustrators, dancers, etc) so I figured I’d do some research for you about this RAW organization (: . Their mission is “to serve independent artists with tools, resources, education and exposure needed to thrive and succeed in their creative careers,” which sounds pretty cool, and I do think that we need more of that, but I don’t necessarily recommend every artist to work with them . The structure reminds me a lot of House of Blues, Chain Reaction, and similar venues where the service is providing a great venue to showcase your art. Typically, you have to sell X amount of tickets to showcase your work . The thing is, you actually need to pay to use the venue up front - for most places this is usually $400 and the venue frames it in terms of $20 tickets, meaning you’d have to sell 20 to pay off the venue. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing tho . I think that performing or showcasing your artwork at places like this are great if you are either a new entrant to the scene (no credibility, small portfolio) OR have a very strong fanbase/following (are able to sell a bunch of tickets) . I’ll explain more and why in tomorrow’s post since I’m pretty sure I’m reaching the caption limit LOL .
