ArtsMarket has provided award-winning research and nationally acclaimed consulting services to hundreds of non-profit institutions, government agencies, educational institutions, economic development councils, cultural agencies, development and and business groups since 1982.
Our mission is to build audiences, communities, and economic strength. Our primary constituency is oriented around culture and the arts; ArtsMarket also works closely with educational, civic, recreational, and other non-profits, providing research and consultation that enable them to reach success in building audiences, communities, and economic value. We've worked with many of the largest institutions and cities in North America, and have traveled to and worked with some of North America's smallest and most rural organizations and communities as well.
Whether the task at hand is building the audience for a performing arts center, engaging the public in support of large new destinations, shaping a cultural arts district, creating a museum or visitor destination, or testing the feasibility and shaping the business plans for a major new cultural institution, we bring high level expertise and proven commitment to ensure your success. From short term ventures including workshops and seminars to multi-year partnerships that build audiences, evaluate programs, develop and refine strategies, we are the trusted partner of institutions throughout the US and Canada.
Much of the work of economic and cultural development is behind the scenes. This includes detailed research on potential markets, gap analysis, business planning, economic modeling, financing model analysis, mapping and cultural planning, evaluation of program impacts, visitor and audience feedback, and user needs analysis. In these our expertise is broad and our work is deeply trusted by institutions that often return year after year.
The foundation of successful audience development is quality research, segmentation, mapping, and data analysis that identifies best prospects and how to reach them. We support leading institutions nationwide as their market research and direct marketing prospecting partner.
Audience development is also deeply related to quality education, and we have a long history of assisting institutions, districts, state and local agencies and funders in development and evaluation of educational programs. For decades, we've been involved in planning and evaluating outstanding educational partnerships and programs.
Bringing people together, building shared vision, shaping plans - this builds upon research and leads to exciting and strong institutional development and economic success. We're noted for our deep listening skills and our facilitation, for engaging communities and nonprofits in building shared focus and for detailing implementation plans that accomplish the goals.
Inspiring others. We share, teach, train, and involve cultural groups, communities, business and economic leaders through speeches, workshops, publications and presentations that build their enthusiasm for your work.
