Volunteers feel valued and will be ready to help out again Our funders feel appreciated and will keep funding the shows Audiences know who to thank and who to ask for more fantastic events! It’s also a chance to promote the next event(s)
Many Promoters make a brief speech before or after show. Check with the company whether a speech before or after will work best for the show. It takes a whole team to make an Arts Alive event a success. Here are some of them: • • • • •
Company / artist: thank them for the show. Funders: the Arts Council England provides around 50% of our funding that enables you to get subsidised shows. Shropshire Council provide some funding. Arts Alive: find and offer shows, provide promoters with admin support and advice Your helpers: who volunteered to make tea, sell tickets, put out chairs etc The audience: for turning out and supporting you / the venue And a BIG THANK YOU from us TO YOU! You had the idea and put in the work to make it all happen
AFTER THE SHOW On the night: • Ask people what they thought – collect in feedback survey forms • Give people a brochure or a leaflet about the next show or another Arts Alive show taking place nearby.
