Carleton Victoria Arts Council

We also hosted a normal season from Fall to Spring presenting 6 live music performances and 1 small studio show prior to the regular season. Attendance is still down due to health concerns of our older audience. Physical posters Facebook and Eventbrite have been the primary advertising used to promote upcoming shows. Audiences sizes are still not back to pre-COVID levels. We changed some of the format and tried for a more varied season for 2024-2025 shows booked to perform from Fall to Spring. We have one show that should garner a younger audience however our venue is alcohol free. We hope that the attendance experienced in our one-off shows would increase Season ticket sales. Encouragement is still needed as our audience still have health concerns due to COVID and other viruses. Prices although on par with the same shows offered in other venues may need to be lowered in order to encourage full season purchases. We are submitting surveys to better understand what shows within our budgets our local community is interested in attending as well as any diterants. We are installing new lights and updating the board as these contracts and equipment were delayed in the prior years this will allow us to provide additional lighting as requested by some performers.
