I suggest, especially since it seems you have a responsive board (which is a
blessing, you should know, they are not all so eager to listen to reason),
that you get a copy of
Increasing Cultural Participation,
An Audience Development Planning Handbook for Presenters, Producers, and
Their Collaborators
by Paul Connolly and Marcelle Hinand Cady
http://www.arts4allpeople.org/pdf/ICP_1.pdf
It was commissioned by The Audiences for Literature network and The
Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund.
You can also look at the various audience development studies that are
available through the Rand Organization (see their website at www.rand.org

Subject: Programming plan and thanks
Hi all,
Please excuse the cross-postings. First, thank you to everyone who
responded with ideas for increasing attendance in small museums. Your ideas
coupled with ideas generated locally helped me convince our administration
that 1). their projections for attendance are unrealistic and 2). while we
may not make the project goal of 8500, we are not without ideas to work
toward that goal. As part of the next step in this process, I need to
develop a formal programming plan. I've put together a draft of one, but
would love to see an example of a completed plan. Would anyone have
examples they would like to share? E-mail attachments are fine, or you can
mail or fax them. I appreciate all of your help. Julie Holcomb

"Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please;
they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under
circumstances directly found, given, and transmitted from the past. The
tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain
of the living." Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire
