“If you build it, they will come.”
It turns out that colleges might not just be debt farms!
College students love new music and attending live music events; but, as they sink further and further into academic debt-slavery, they don’t have very much money to spend on cultural events such as these. So, it’s important that they know the ways in which they can tap into school funds in order to put on great, inexpensive shows on their campuses. Taking control of your own cultural development is no longer just an option; it’s a necessity.
On this episode, we hear from Jon O’Neil, who builds sound equipment through his company, Naiant, and volunteers for The Outer Banks Forum for the Lively Arts, which is a municipal music series. We also hear from Ted Winkworth, who was the lead singer for Another Breath and now runs the Oswego Indie Series at SUNY Oswego, where he is also a drug and alcohol abuse prevention professional.
The goal for this episode is to enumerate the ways in which college students and community members may attract funding in order to put on concerts in their area. We will hear how this is done in schools as well as in the larger community.
Don’t settle for slavery.
