openSPACE / openAUDIENCE

From legacy funding to foundation dollars and more – all generously funding the creation and development of new work. But what about developing new audiences? Is theater and art in the Twin Cities a high production, low consumption business?

What are organizations doing to craft new audiences of the arts? Are we cannibalizing the same crowd? What are we doing to connect the plethora of creative activity with new attendees, and what are the next steps for theaters, venues, galleries and the cultural districts in which they operate?

Join us for an OpenSpace style session at the Southern Theater while we dive further into this timely topic.

Who should attend?
Directors, curators, theater companies, marketing staff and destination district managers all welcome and encouraged come to attend.

The Southern is conveniently located off the Green Line Light Rail, the 22 and 7 bus lines, and the UofM Campus Connector . We encourage taking public transport. Parking is available both directly across the street and in the 7west parking ramp.
