We have many skilled artists who fit the bill; however our artist roster is comprised 100% of full time performers who make a living
through earned income in the arts (no grants, un-related secondary
jobs, sponsors, patrons, etc). Behind the scenes we also have three
productive studios to support with a crew of costumers, film makers,
makeup artists, technicians, writers, composers, multi- media artists
and a seasoned sales-team, ALL who have taken the leap to living their
various passions and dedicated to providing and supporting a viable
living both for themselves and the "on-stage" artists.
My job
as artistic director (and artist) has literally become a life-time
dedication to successfully providing viable opportunity and contributing
to the living wages for the diverse artists on our ever-growing roster.
Certainly, none of us chose the artist's path for the $, but it is
indeed necessary to stay afloat and continue to bring the finest
artistry possible to both the public and private sectors, as well as
forge the way to be acknowledged as an esteemed and credible "career"
for young aspiring artists of all disciplines.
