TEAL is Back! With a Lunch & Learn on Audience Building on 9/23
Triangle Emerging Arts Leaders, that group of young (or young at heart) folks working in the arts in the Triangle has taken a bit of a hiatus. But its BACK!
We are bringing back TEAL’s popular lunches, but adding a new element. Its easier to get away from the office when you are learning something…right! So, each TEAL lunch will now have a discussion topic and a discussion leader from the Triangle arts community. As always, TEAL lunch is also just a great time for networking and discussion of general issues facing arts leaders.
Here’s the info on this month’s lunch:
TEAL September Lunch and Learn
This month’s topic:
“How to build an audience – through social media,
collaborations & other crazy ideas”
Leading the discussion will be G. Todd Buker, Artistic Director of Bare Theatre. Commonly referred to as a “vagabond” company, Bare is a Triangle-based company that does not own its own stage/theater (which saves a lot of money!). In the last 5 years, the company has grown its audience tremendously through crowdfunding, social media, and collaborations that have enabled them to pay the artists involved! Todd will begin the discussion with a short talk on the topic and then open the floor for group discussion. Come ready to share stories on what has worked or what hasn’t for you, and to learn from each other.
Here are the details:
Where: RTP Frontier, Dive Conference room, 3rd floor
When: Friday, September 23
Schedule:
11:30 RTP Food truck rodeo opens in the Frontier parking lot. So, grab lunch there (come early, there will be lines!) or just bring a brown bag lunch!
12:00 Discussion begins
1:00 Official ending of discussion, feel free to stay and chat!
Who should attend?
- Anyone trying to build an audience, customer base, whatever … and looking for new ideas on how to build a community around and support for the work you are doing.
- Anyone who wants to meet and network with other young (and young at heart…we don’t check ID’s!) people working in the arts field in the Triangle.
- Anyone who needs to expand their network of like-minded people from across the Triangle and across the Triangle region … to share ideas and successses as well as failures and frustrations.
- Anyone who just wants to meet new people or see old friends over lunch!

Are you getting the support you need to grow as an arts leader?
What resources or programs do you need?
Come learn how others are finding support and help us look at ways to better support Emerging Leaders.
This article in the recent Americans for the Arts Emerging Leaders blog salon, caused several TEAL members to contact us and say “Are emerging leaders getting the support they need?” So…let’s talk about it!
Join us for a TEAL roundtable discussion about what pressures Emerging Leaders feel to grow, learn, and adapt their work, and how they are dealing with it. Talk to other Triangle’s young arts leaders about how and where they are getting the support and resources they need. Also, help ArtWorks identify unmet needs and help us brainstorm on ways to meet them.
Afterwards, join other Emerging Leaders and more “seasoned” arts leaders for networking, fun and perhaps a local beer or two!
Date: Monday, June 23rd
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Mercury Studio 401 W. Geer Street Durham (behind & below Motorco)
The Game Plan:
6:30-7 Networking and Mingling
7:00 Roundtable discussion begins
8:30 Group adjourns to Fullsteam to continue discussion/networking
We will also be inviting leadership from other arts service organizations to listen to the discussion, so that we can have more minds and organizations involved in working on this issue.
Let us know you are coming! RSVP by email.

“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.
What is an Emerging Arts Leader?
When is the first meeting?
The first meeting will take place on the “Fourth Friday” March 23rd at noon, at Shiki Sushi. If you are a Emerging Arts Leader in the Triangle, come out to meet your peers, share ideas and have a great time with other current and future leaders of the cultural sector. Each gathering will have a discussion topic, and we will look to our Core Group and peers to facilitate conversations. The first meeting will be an informal meet and greet, and we’ll also have an open discussion about future topics, locations for gatherings, and what experiences members would like to get out of participating.
How can you participate?
If you fit the above definition of Triangle Emerging Arts Leader, send us an email and we will put you on the Group’s mailing list. If you can come to the meeting on March 23rd, let us know so we can include you in the reservation!
See you there!
