Artist Office Hours
Where we talk about the Business of Art
Let's face it, you're probably not an artist because you LOVE creating business plans. And you likely don't run a non-profit arts org because you YEARN FOR a deep financial analysis of revenue streams.
​
That's ok. We've got your back.
​
Artist Office Hours is a service of PECO Arts where we talk about the Business of Art. From individual artists to large arts organizations, we'll work together on strategic planning, marketing strategies, and financial health & growth.
What We
Offer
For Artists
Business Planning
A good plan will help you get from "making art" to "making a living with art." It starts with your goals and becomes your roadmap to get there.
Pricing Your Work
The perennial debate - passion vs profit. Let's look at the big picture and make sure you've got both.
Marketing Strategies
Let's talk about what you make, who wants to buy it, and how we can put those two together.
Bookkeeping &
Record Keeping
You're probably not making art because you love spreadsheets. The good news is this doesn't have to be difficult. Trust me - I'm a bookkeeper with a theatre degree.
For Organizations
Strategic Planning
It's easy to get lost in the flow of the daily work. We'll work together to set goals, create a plan, and most importantly, to build a system for continuous review. A good strategic plan will make sure your daily flow is helping you grow.
Financial Check Up
Most arts organizations have pretty thin margins. Let's take a look to be sure you're maximizing each revenue stream, and not losing anything through cracks in the expenses. Chances are we'll find some great opportunities along the way!
Marketing Plans
Marketing the arts is a unique challenge. Whether it's event tickets, an ongoing exhibition, or institutional awareness campaigns, there are a lot of potential visitors to talk to, and they all need a different message. Together we will make a detailed plan to spread the word.
Fundraising Campaign Planning & Support
Sponsorships, memberships, capital campaigns, and more - all of them require specific strategies for success. We'll work to engage your new visitors and fire up your biggest fans, all to accomplish your biggest goals.
Board & Staff Development
An informed and engaged board of directors is an organization's superpower. A cohesive and motivated staff will leap over mountains. Neither happens by accident. Let's work together to inspire peak performance from your most important people.
Ticket Pricing Strategies
When the show is over, you can't sell anymore tickets. Let's make sure you are getting the most revenue for each seat in the house. Seating charts, price tiers, and discounts - oh my!
