We are excited to announce that the Project Audience Oversight Committee is now in place. Seven organizations were selected to sit on the Project Audience Oversight Committee (PAOC); these organizations will be responsible for guiding the next phase of the project, which includes completing the planning grant proposal invited by the Mellon Foundation, engaging the Project Audience community and creating the first blueprint for Project Audience. Listed below are the organizations selected to sit on the Project Audience Oversight Committee (PAOC). Alliance for the Arts; New York, NY Arts & Cultural Alliance of Central Florida; Orlando, FL ArtsFund; Seattle, WA Arts Midwest; Minneapolis, MN LA Stage Alliance; Los Angeles, CA Theatre Bay Area; San Francisco, CA Theatre Development Fund; New York, NY The Mellon Foundation has invited Seattle's ArtsFund (which will remain the fiscal sponsor for Phase II) to apply for an officer's grant this month through Mellon's Performing Arts Program for planning. The committee will immediately start working on Phase II assuming the grant will be accepted, including consistent and more frequent communications and interactions with the Project Audience community. During this proposal period, we will not be monitoring or updating information the on-line community (otherwise known as the Project Audience Tangler site). In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact us at info@ProjectAudience.org. We will also be making updates to www.ProjectAudience.org that reflect these changes soon. As we enter Phase II of Project Audience, we want to thank Matt Lehrman of Alliance for Audience/ShowUp.com in Phoenix and Dwight Gee from ArtsFund in Seattle for all their work on Phase I. They were both instrumental in getting this project up and running and spent many long hours making Project Audience come to life. And thank you to the numerous folks that helped keep things going since the Project Audience meeting in October. It was a true community effort that has allowed this project to move forward. We are so grateful for all the hours spent getting Project Audience ready for Phase II. If you have questions, please contact us at info@ProjectAudience.org We look forward to engaging with you more soon!
