Does connecting Talent and creative opportunities work – FINAL
Questions about ArtConnected: Why is a tool like ArtConnected is important at all in the Arts?
You might also be wondering why a tool like ArtConnected is important at all in the Arts? Why do we need a concept like Entrepreneurship in the Arts?
Well to give you an idea why we think it is so important, we’ve all heard other people say or wanted to be ourself a rock star, we could play guitar, do vocals, drum but that doesn’t make one a rock star. To be a rock star it means we have to star at rock but we also have to commit to it as to our profession. By making rock our career, we need to be able to earn our living from it.
That sounds completely obvious, but is that really the case with the arts and many artistic professions? With tools like ArtConnected we hope we can make this a reality!

Questions about ArtConnected: as a practitioner who has difficulty sourcing the people I’d like working with me and my studio
Christina asked “as a practitioner who has difficulty sourcing the people I’d like working with me and my studio. How does ArtConnected help me?”
One of the basic functions of ArtConnected is to allow users to search for people or organisations working in the arts sector. ArtConnected will eventually help users to access constantly updated profiles, competences, interest and skills of each member of the Arts Sector in any geographical area for better collaboration, programming and distribution of available opportunities.

Just What is ArtConnected?
So what is ArtConnected?
Well think of it as the “Linking the arts
sector!”
What is ArtConnected, well we think the best way to describe it is as the “LINKING THE ARTS SECTOR”. ArtConnected allows for the fast & easy exchange of information on opportunities & jobs in the arts, creative & cultural sectors. Linking creatives, arts organisations, venues & suppliers on-line & across national boundaries to increase information & capture market efficiencies.
ArtConnected
- Brings all the areas of the Sector into one place
- Offers effective communication, management & promotion of available opportunities
- Work & communicate smarter
- Reduces expenses & save time
- Increase exposure, reach & impact
The Challenge
Because we know too many frustrated Artists who missed opportunities, jobs and funding deadlines as they were scattered through too many different websites and media. We also know too many frustrated Organisers who don’t receive enough high quality responses to their calls. We know too many people who cannot find a venue suitable for their programmes and spend days on the phone. Finally, we also know too many extremely skilful technicians and service providers who are almost invisible and subsidise themselves through various jobs instead of utilising their experts skills
The Solution
We believe ArtConnected is a solution we all need. Please help us to build the final part of the platform and to connect ALL working in the Arts for successful artistic careers, greater visibility of all opportunities and easier collaborations. ArtConnected:
- provides instant access to opportunities, jobs, calls, funding, services, equipment and venues,
