How I Use CreativeGround
- Chandler Center for the Arts
“CreativeGround is a great resource to find new artists in the region, and access grants to help pay them fairly. I have worked with many artists in the Creative Ground Network, and when I work with New England artists who aren't yet using it, I always encourage them to sign up. It's been a great resource to connect with New England artists and help champion my favorite local artists and direct other presenters to their profiles.”
– Chloe Powell, Executive Director - ANDRES INSTITUTE OF ART
“CreativeGround is a fantastic resource for the Arts! As an Arts venue, we are able to build a robust profile to give viewers a good sense of what we are about. We have used it as a resource to find musical acts for our concert series that help us raise funds for, and awareness of, the nature, art and mission of the AIA. The artists we have connected with have been amazing, providing real added-value to people attending the concerts in support of the AIA.”
– Kristi St. Laurent, President - Sol y Canto
“CreativeGround is the only resource that Sol y Canto has to identify potential cultural arts programmers in our New England region and we are grateful to be considered respectfully thanks to being NEST-eligible. We are currently celebrating our 30th anniversary with a handful of shows in beautiful venues in MA and NH in the second half of September 2024 along with the release of our new album, "En tu órbita"! We love touring in New England and hope to bring our songs celebrating Latin culture to all the New England states in the 2024/25 season. Gracias to CreativeGround that may likely happen.”
