Date: Wednesday, October 2, 2008, 5:30-8:30pm Topic: Transforming Competition into Collaboration By Sharing Proprietary Information: What We Can Learn From Bay Area Arts Organizations
We will take an in-depth look at the "Big List" and how San Francisco has become one of several cities around the country where arts organizations are sharing their proprietary marketing lists to increase sustainability of the arts. The "Big List" project has been funded by The Wallace Foundation, The San Francisco Foundation and Grants for the Arts and managed by Theater Bay Area in an effort to match if not exceed the success of other urban centers. We will take a look at how this project began, the challenges that arose and how the participating nonprofits were able to change their mind sets from being competitive to collaborative.
