Just because arts organisations are non-profits doesnt mean they shouldnt make money; it means the money they make goes back to fund the mission - whether thats music, visual arts, theatre, dance, or one of many other mediums that enrich our lives. In the US alone, the arts are a $763 billion sector whose 100,000 organisations serve almost every community in the nation. Theres no reason arts organisations should struggle to make ends meet. And now, with arts-tested strategies from Aubrey Bergauer, they wont.
