AMERICAN THEATRE | Arena Stage Launches Artists Marketplace
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater has announced the launch of Artists Marketplace . The marketplace will connect art, artists, and their artistry directly with patrons, giving patrons the opportunity to commission or purchase work from the artists who have worked with Arena Stage.
"I dreamed up the Artists Marketplace when I realized that despite the pandemic, artists and audience exist, both still hungry for each other," said deputy artistic director Seema Sueko in a statement. "Our regular delivery system of ‘gather artists, gather audiences, and mix’ is broken, but we can create new delivery systems and new models for regional theatres to serve our communities and earn income for artists now, rather than wait until theaters produce again."
