Arts Ally

Learning : Classes ; Performance : Dance , Music ; Services ; Visual : Film , Photography , Public Art

The mission of Art Ally is to help artists succeed. What is an Art Ally? An ally is someone who supports you. Allies can take the role of a coach, consultant, advisor, mentor, guide, advocate, or scout. As an Art Ally, Jessica Jacobs uses her experience to help artists bridge the gap between art and business. Why do you need an Art Ally? There are many challenges facing artists. We often hear “do what you love”. However, artists often haven’t been taught business skills, and the marketplace does not always reward the artist. Understanding the business of art and taking an “art thinking” approach can demystify the obstacles to success. How does Art Ally work for you? Art Ally offers a range of services tailored to your individual needs, from simple guided questionnaires to workshops to in-depth one-on-one coaching. I utilize extensive resources and network of connections that I have built over the years. You can decide how much support you need. What services does Art Ally offer? Art Ally provides services that help artists define their focus. Who are you as an artist? Together, we develop your measurable goals, strategic plan, and target markets. Artists are often unaware of the possibilities–the range of business models and target markets they could be pursuing. Through frameworks, we will identify and enact the behaviors that will help you achieve your goals. A functioning artistic “practice” is about more than just making the art. By taking a strategic approach to your practice, you will create guidelines for yourself and assess what works. The Process The Art Ally process is customized to each client’s needs. We use extensive questionnaires, analysis, one-on-one coaching, and the extensive resources that we have compiled. Throughout the process, our use of the word “work” is intentional. All of these materials then feed into frameworks for each step of the process: Imagining the work How do you develop and create your ideas? How do you refine them? Doing the work How do you find the time to do the work? What is your network of support for feedback? Selling the work Now that you have a body of work, how do you market, promote and sell it? Managing the work Being an artist means managing the practice of being an artist. Your art is your business, and you are in charge of managing it. Services offered Conceptual refinement of a body of work Artist statement development Marketing materials (writing and design) Goal setting Business planning Target market research Resource guides (customized) small questionnaire Website and social media analysis Delivery formats One-on-one coaching Questionnaires with guided feedback Webinars Workshops

Arts Edge

Culture ; Learning : Classes ; Performance : Dance , Music , Musical Theatre , Opera , Theatre ; Services

A website for teaching and learning in the arts. Since the Kennedy Center’s opening in 1971, schoolchildren, parents and educators have turned to us as the nation’s premiere cultural resource. Embracing this responsibility, the Kennedy Center instituted ARTSEDGE in 1996 as its educational media arm, reaching out to schools, communities, individuals and families with printed materials, classroom support and Internet technologies. The full impact of ARTSEDGE might be measured by considering that of the eleven million people who participate in Kennedy Center Education Department programming each year, four million do it through ARTSEDGE resources. The site is visited each day by more than can be held if every theater in the Kennedy Center complex was filled to capacity. In an education landscape that is evolving with new ideas of how, when and where we teach, learn and create, the ARTSEDGE team has revisited every part of what— and how—we offer resources. We are expanding our content to serve a new definition of educators, encompassing classroom and out-of-school teachers, with the single-minded goal to support arts-based student learning, whether in the classroom or an informal learning environment, like the home. We’re focused on ways to support innovative teaching with the arts, and meet changing trends in education and to accommodate the ever-evolving impact of technology in our lives. Our collection of free digital resources—including lesson plans, audio stories, video clips, and interactive online modules—has been streamlined for easier browsing and upgraded to leverage best practices in educational media and multimedia-supported instruction. “The redesign is a wonderful extension of the original ARTSEDGE mission, set over 15 years ago,” says Darrell M. Ayers, Vice President for Education at the Kennedy Center, “to connect people to people, to provide arts-centered learning experiences, and to lead the way in digitally-supported arts learning for all citizens.” For more about the new site — and our expanded mission to create inspiring, interactive resources for K-12 learners, their teachers and families, watch the clip for our Arts Everywhere campaign.
