Why Promote Shows in Your Local Community
You want your village hall or community centre to be at the heart of your community.
You want to provide affordable , top quality entertainment that local people can get to easily.
You want people to support your hall. If they come to an Arts Out West event, they might start coming to other things, or hiring the hall for a party, meeting or class.
You want the "buzz" that a successful event brings - the whole community talking about it for weeks afterwards.
You want to make lots of money for your hall ? NO! THINK AGAIN ! We hope that you will not be out of pocket by staging an Arts Out West event, but they are not designed to be fund-raisers. Any profits you do make should be ring-fenced to guard against possible losses, or to promote other arts and entertainment events that you organise yourselves.
So, how does it work ?
