Bums on Seats Forum

NSW Arts On Tour "Bums on Seats"

Audience Development Forum

 

Sat 2 August - COBAR, NSW

 

The Bums on Seats forum is run by NSW Arts On Tour, specialists in regional touring, and is designed to give delegates marketing, ticketing and financial know how for presenting a show.

Regional Arts Boards (like Outback Arts) and Arts on Tour are working together on this project in order to reach a concentrated spread for each forum.  There are only two forums offered state-wide each year. 

 

 

Making the most of Bums on Seats in a big region...

Outback Arts is looking for feedback on a planned Bums on Seats Audience Development Forum in our region in 2008.  And we need your help!

 

Our region is large and our presenter groups dispersed.  Unfortunately this means that many of you will need to travel to attend so we are also exploring other options...

 

New Technologies:

If COBAR proves too far for you to attend would you be willing to attend a video conference session of the forum?  Or an online feed or satellite session?  We're planning to utilise new technologies to deliver this forum to as many people as possible.

 

Please provide Outback Arts with the following info:

 

1) an expression of interest in attending

2) any particular challenges you face in attending

 

Proposed Topics:

1) Marketing (segment marketing, direct marketing)

2) Sourcing touring product

3) Audience Development (audience sharing/new audiences)

4) Ticketing (pricing, pre-sales, integrated marketing etc)

5) Creative Marketing

 

Presented by NSW Arts on Tour

in partnership with Outback Arts. 

 

Outback Arts promoted Bums on Seats as part of its support package to presenters for 2007’s regional tour of ‘Bangers & Mash’.  Cobar Arts Council requested the forum which is now in planning for 2008.

With thanks to Cobar Arts Council for their initial expression of interest in having Bums on Seats in the region.  Also to all the people who have assisted us in exploring new technologies infrastructure in their town.
