Learn how emerging technologies benefit artists and performing arts organizations
Raising the Curtain: Technology Success Stories from Performing Arts Leaders and Artists focuses on empowering artists and performing arts organizations in theater, dance, and music to grow audiences and to increase impact through smart and strategic uses of technology. This book will help you effectively increase your artistic and administrative reach in order to expand your outreach to diverse audiences, without breaking the bank. In fact, you'll be more efficient by choosing multi-function technologies that work for you. You'll also see how advanced software can extend your donor reach--and ensure that you're contacting donors at the right time. You can also maximize your organization's brand by incorporating social media, AI tools, media streaming platforms, and more.
Inside, you'll learn about the most useful tech tools out there, including a wide breadth of technology, from Tessitura to A.I., from the success stories of artists such as Emmet Cohen and Jane Monheit, and organizations such as Attack Theatre and The Kennedy Center. Even more importantly, you'll gain the confidence you need to incorporate technology into all areas of your organization in order to define your path to greater success.

-- Beth Kanter, Author & Nonprofit Technology Leader recognized by Fast Company & NTEN Lifetime Achievement Award.
"Technology isn't something a lean organization can't embrace; rather, Crawford and Hansen demonstrate it's a smart technology setup that allows organizations to be lean. Simply written, easy to understand, and covering tech's integration in each facet of a performing arts organization, this book is a necessary guide for every arts administrator."
-- Aubrey Bergauer, the "Steve Jobs of Classical Music", The Guardian, CEO, Changing the Narrative.
"At a time of unprecedented challenges for performing arts organizations, Crawford and Hansen have written a practical and indispensable handbook on how to face these issues.

The organizations they cite provide important guideposts for other organizations who want to learn."
