ARTSMARKET2013 Inspiration has brought you here. Take some with you when you leave.

“I once sat near fiddler Mark O’Connor and bassist Edgar Meyer as the three of us watched Itzhak Perlman play an impeccable Tchaikovsky. I was so inspired, I played my violin into the wee hours of the morning, an eleven-year-old girl determined to one day play among the best.” Annie Dupre, The Annie Moses Band

“The earliest inspiration I remember that steered me 1 toward the performing arts was watching my dad do soft-shoe steps in the garage while fixing the lawn mower.” Gene Medler, Founder, NC Youth Tap Ensemble

“When I was a kid, I always wanted to live in Hollywood, travel on airplanes, stay in hotels and be met at an airport with my name on a sign.” James Galea WELCOME

Welcome to ArtsMarket 2013!

What began as a statewide conference in 2000 has blossomed into a world-class event drawing hundreds of performing arts professionals from more than 20 states, plus parts of Canada. This growth is due in large part to you, as you have recruited your colleagues over the years by sharing stories of the quality facilities and showcasing acts at ArtsMarket, the pervasive spirit of collegiality among participants, and the ample opportunities for learning and professional growth.

Dare I say, ArtsMarket is a bit like a mullet hairdo – business in the front, party in the back. While the primary goal of ArtsMarket is to connect industry professionals to inspire business, we also strive to create a friendly, fun environment in which individuals can drop their guards, interact as equals, and build genuine and lasting relationships. We all know that personal relationships are critical to success in any business. Since we all share the same goal – connecting artists and audiences – it only makes sense to operate in an environment that promotes a congenial spirit of collaboration instead of a divisive spirit of competition.

This belief that performing arts presenting is an act of collaboration is espoused by the ArtsMarket hosts – The North Carolina Presenters Consortium (NCPC) and the North Carolina Arts Council. We owe the staff and Board of Directors of these organizations huge thanks for their hard work in producing this event. We also owe thanks to the incredible staff here at the historic Carolina Theatre in Durham; our awesome sponsors; our fearless leader and NCPC Executive Director Stephen Barefoot; and our wonderful volunteers. When you see these folks, please take time to hug their necks and thank 2 them, as it is their hard work that ensures that you don’t have to work hard to enjoy your experience here in Durham.

Welcome to ArtsMarket. Welcome to Durham, North Carolina. Welcome to the NCPC family. Enjoy yourselves and get busy booking.

All the Very Best,

William Lewis

It’s not everyone who will tell you that you shouldn’t bungee-jump naked. To get such

truths, you have to come to ArtsMarket. Welcome to the opening event. Even if you’re

among the 20 million+ who’ve spent time with her on YouTube, there’s just nothing like

the real thing…

Award-winning speaker Jeanne Robertson is an expert in humor, whether regaling audi-

ences with her experiences as a 6’2” (“with her hair mashed down”) Miss Congeniality

winner in the Miss America Pageant or outlining the steps to developing a sense of humor.

Jeanne is past president of the National Speakers Association and was the first woman to

win NSA’s top honor, the Cavett Award. A member of the Speakers Hall of Fame, Jeanne was

also honored by Toastmasters International when it named her the recipient of its Golden

Gavel Award, presented annually to one individual who has demonstrated outstanding skills

in communication and leadership. She is author of three books on humor, been interviewed

by Morley Safer on CBS “60 Minutes,” and has produced six DVD/CD humor projects in the

last eleven years. Jeanne can be heard daily on Sirius XM Radio’s Laugh USA and the Family

Comedy Channel. Millions of listeners nationwide know she speaks two languages fluently:

English...and Southern.” 10

www.jeannerobertson.com www.newfrontiertouring.com Booth # New Frontier Touring 129 KEYNOTE SQUONKQ OPERA

Squonk Opera’s GO Roadshow is “a musical street spectacle on wheels,” housed on a 34-ft. long truck retrofitted with truck-horn calliope, a wall made of rotors and a spinning grand piano that is played while it wheels around. It is a music-and-art mobile –-– a rolling ruckus that opens up like a mechanical blossom to create a vibrant place where people share a community of the imagination. Squonk creators draw from the great American history of traveling circuses, Shriner and holiday parades and medicine shows that vitalized the heartland of this country.

Squonk Opera made its Broadway debut in the year 2000. Called “ingenious, hallucinatory and hypnotic” by New York Times critic Ben Brantley, Squonk Opera received an American Theater Wing Award and has since performed in more than 250 venues in 25 states in the U.S. and on three continents. The Washington Post describes Squonk Opera as “Debussy meets Godzilla.”

Squonk has received six grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as support from Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Jim Henson Foundation, the Heinz Endowments, Buhl Foundation, Grable Foundation, Pittsburgh Foundation and others.

Debussy will meet Godzilla at the front door of DPAC. So Durham. 11

If Monday evening’s performance by Squonk Opera on the plaza at DPAC is cancelled due to weather, Squonk will perform today at 12:55 PM at Durham Central Park, one block from the Carolina Theatre.

For two decades, the non-profit Carolina Theatre of Durham, Inc. has operated the downtown Carolina Theatre complex owned by the City of Durham.

The Carolina Theatre includes the historic 1926 Fletcher Hall, which seats 1,032, and two cinemas, seating 276 and 66, which were built during a major restoration and expansion in the early 1990s.

The Star Series is the Carolina Theatre’s signature series of live concerts, comedy, theatre, lectures, and other performances. In 2012-13, the Star Series featured 60 performances in Fletcher Hall including Boz Scaggs, Pat Benatar, Mike Birbiglia, Bela Fleck, Dave Koz, Delta Rae, and Steven Wright.

The Arts Discovery series offers educational curriculum-based performances for 15,000 students from more than 15 counties throughout North Carolina and Virginia each year. The program is subsidized by grants and sponsorship that enable affordable prices for all students and reductions for Title 1 schools.

The theater also presents more than 2,500 film screenings per year. The cinemas are open daily for Independent first-run films, and the North Carolina Gay & Lesbian Film Festival is the largest of the organization’s many festivals, retrospectives, and exclusive special programs.

In addition to performances presented by the non-profit, the Carolina Theatre hosts over 50 rental events each year by local and national non-profits and commercial clients. Among the major residents utilizing the Carolina Theatre on an annual basis are the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, Durham Savoyards, and Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle.

NCPC FUTURES FUND

The NCPC Futures Fund was formally established in 2011 as a method to honor NCPC members and industry colleagues. The Fund was seeded by family and friends in honor of retiring artist manager, agent and longtime NCPC board member John Loyd of Loyd Artists in Asheville.

The Futures Fund is NCPC’s CARE package. It’s a statement of gratitude to colleagues and mentors for longstanding service and leadership in the field. It’s a tip-of-the-hat as congratulations on job advancement or retirement, a way to “pay-it-forward” for a col- league’s great idea or outstanding endeavor. And it is our membership’s opportunity to memorialize and honor fellow members who have passed on and left their mark on who we are as the NCPC organization.

At this year’s ArtsMarket, we pay special tribute to members whom we’ve lost since our last conference. In warmth and grace, we remember these dedicated professionals who shared our table at booking meetings, traveled the exhibit hall at local and regional conferences and advanced the performing arts across our state and region:

• Rebecca Holleman, College of the Albemarle, Elizabeth City, NC • Susan Foster, Isothermal Community College, Spindale, NC • Merle Dickert, Paramount Center for the Arts, Bristol, TN • Jo Walcher, Rowan County Concert Association, Salisbury, NC • Mark Johnson, NC School of the Arts, Winston-Salem, NC

The NCPC Futures Fund is governed by the NCPC Board, and supports projects that 16 uphold, exemplify or strengthen the spirit of non-competitive collaboration that is the hallmark and lifeblood of NC Presenters Consortium. Fund assistance may be offered in the form of grants for conference participation, travel support, seeds for volunteer development, commissions for artistic creation, and opportunities deemed to be stretching boundaries, removing barriers, and even kicking the beehive. Endeavors will be awarded in the spirit of what has helped make NCPC a leader in its field.

We welcome your gifts toward the NCPC Futures Fund in honor of those who have made a difference in your career, in tribute to friends and co-workers who have inspired your role in sharing the value of the performing arts. Join us in saying thanks to those who have made us sing, dance, listen and feel.

Tax-deductible contributions may be made to the NC Presenters Consortium Futures Fund, NCPC, Inc., 1410 Shepherd St., Durham, NC 27707. Thank you for your support. THANK YOU
