Don’t Miss This – Richard Evans talks Innovation & Arts in Raleigh Wednesday
If you are interested in the intersection of innovation and the arts and want to find out new trends in the arts around the country, do not miss this talk by Richard Evans next Wednesday in Raleigh. This event is presented by City of Raleigh Arts Commission and United Arts of Wake County. As noted on the City’s website,
Richard Evans
“Evans will lead an exploration of organizational innovation in the arts and its importance to the sector’s future, given the magnitude and rapid pace of change today. In the process, he will discuss how innovation can be systematized as an organizational discipline – a process of creative thinking and analysis, risk and experimentation – to address the unique challenges presented by this unprecedented new era for the arts. Innovation as practice and discipline has become a trend in the corporate sector due to the successes of companies like Apple, Google and Pixar, among others. Many of its components are also intrinsic to the artistic process – constant ideation followed by experimentation to see what works. Evans’ work brings together concepts from both sectors to create a new model for organizational development in the arts. … Read More

Local Arts Organizations Use Twitter to Reach New Audiences
By Tara Connolly
Across the Triangle and throughout the state, arts organizations are tapping Twitter to reach and engage new audiences. Using social media enables arts organizations to affordably reach thousands of people with their messages. Of course, using social media to drive ticket sales and donations is notoriously hard to track. Though return on investment for a social media campaign often isn’t immediately quantifiable financially, Twitter is a proven and affordable tool for generating buzz, expanding your exposure and amplifying your message about performances, events and overall mission.
Below is a short study about how Carolina Ballet and the Southern Entrepreneurship in the Arts Conference each used Twitter for these purposes. The key in each case was to enroll supporters in reaching out to their networks on behalf of the organization. Thus, the organization’s message reaches thousands of members within their supporters’ networks – both your supporters’ existing arts supporter friends and some future arts supporters, no doubt. … Read More

“Triangle Emerging Arts Leaders” Group Forming
Triangle ArtWorks is working with a Core Group of local arts leaders to create a Triangle Emerging Arts Leaders Group. The idea is to create a networking group of “young” arts administrators that will meet periodically for discussion and networking, with a goal of not only helping the Group’s members learn from each other and some discussion leaders, but also to facilitate collaboration between them and their organizations.

Scrap Exchange escapes from a soggy mess into new space….twice.
By Teri Saylor
Scrap Exchange's new space at 923 Franklin Street
Scrap Exchange is finally getting some return on the good Karma it has invested in the Durham community. After an epic moving odyssey, the creative re-use facility, is finally settled into a new home, which in time, could be permanent.
“We’ve been through hell,” said Executive Director Ann Woodard, sitting in a tiny, crowded office next to the huge concrete and steel space that will soon be converted into a spacious environment housing a gallery, retail store, and workshops. She allows that the experience worked in the organization’s favor after all, and after two moves in 10 days, The Scrap Exchange is back in business. This last move, which took place over the Memorial Day weekend was the third relocation in 10 days. Its new home is at 923 Franklin Street in Durham. … Read More
