You see what happens on stage: gorgeous performances by students and visiting artists, and there are dance workshops, lectures, art exhibits. But what about before that moment? What happens in the Center for Creative and Performing Arts? It's a lot of business, but it's great to support the creative people and the great cause of the arts.
Here's today: compiling a list of guitar teachers to reach out to regarding an upcoming classical guitar concert; processing payment for dancers and lighting technicians; ordering posters and fliers from design services; editing an upcoming brochure for a donor appeal; writing thank you notes to some generous patrons who support the arts; calling the news to request a photographer for Zombies dancing on the Salem Common this Saturday; writing a press release or two; reaching out to high school music teachers about a music educators' reception; selling tickets to this weekend's theatre performance and answering lots of phone questions; printing and editing playbills and concert programs; and whatever walks in the door and requires our attention. It's not as glamorous as the stage, but supporting artists is an art in itself.
