Programs and Services

Research

Services designed to help arts organizations make better decisions.

  • Atlanta Arts & Culture Census – We provide cooperative, web-based patron database, built and operated by TRG Arts. The purpose of a community database is to simplify mailing list exchanges; share list hygiene expenses; identify a targeted, qualified and focused group of arts consumers; and examine consumer behavior through comparative market analysis.
  • Cultural Asset Mapping – We will compile a database of all the cultural assets that exist within the Atlanta region and make that data available.

Education and Professional Development

Services designed to help artists and arts administrators hone their skills and talents.

  • Entrepreneurship in the Arts – Guiding artist-entrepreneurs through the process of creating a business plan. Clarity and action for artists.
  • TechsmARTs – Monthly discussions for arts administrators on using technology as a tool for organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Professional Development Classes: Professional guests of C4 Atlanta lead these workshops to address trends and issues faced by arts professionals. Topics vary according to community need.

Technology Infrastructure (coming Summer 2011)

Community-level technology designed to provide greater access to information and other resources.

  • Community Profiles — Artists and Organizations will be able to create online profiles for availability in a searchable database.
  • ArtsForce – Connecting arts organizations and artists together through a dynamic web/mobile application. Atlanta’s resource for jobs in the arts, artistic opportunities, collaboration and more.
  • Atlanta Spaces — An online, venue management system for arts organizations to list rental space available for performances, rehearsals, film shootings, music recordings, classes and other special events. Atlanta Spaces includes Google Maps and the ability to book a space online. Possible through a partnership with Fractured Atlas.
