What We Will Be Learning
How We Will Be Learning
What is a collaboration?
• Working towards common goal or working
towards goals that are compatible with each
partner
• Greater strength in numbers
• Sharing skills
• Synergy
What is a collaboration?
• Joining forces with a partner to create a
solution to a problem that neither could
achieve on their own
• Leveraging resources by allying themselves
with organizations to carry out a common
mission
What is a strategic collaboration?
Distinct from short term, project-
oriented sponsorships, strategic
collaborations are intensive,
durable commitments created for
mutual gain; they require
significant investment by all parties
of time and energy.
In bad times, art
sometimes get more
interesting…And now, in
synch with our current
economic troubles, many
young artists are
expanding art’s range
with collaborative
ventures that defy
traditional categories…
“Would culture continue
to be supported if there
were no resources? The
logical answer was to
keep on working on
projects together…How
could we do that
collectively?
Vogue

Craft Beer 101: Collaboration Beer
A Collaboration arises when brewmasters from
two (or more!) craft breweries decide to get
together on a single beer
The first such beer to make a big splash on store
shelves in Chicago was “Collaboration, Not
Litigation” Ale.
Two craft brewers both had a Belgian Ale called
"Salvation." Rather than fight it out in court , they
met and, over a few beers, decided they should
blend the two brews together for a special release.
Talk things out over a beer? It's a time-honored
tradition. When the guys who make beer sit down
to talk things over, great beer can result.
The special collaboration between traditional
and the creative industries was the focus of a
new international prize awarded as part of the
project ‘Creative City Challenge’ this October.
Companies (from the North Sea Region
countries) applied for the Best Collaboration
Award from the fields of Advertising,
Architecture, Arts and Antique Markets, Crafts,
Design, Communication Design, Fashion Design,
Film, Video, Photography, Software, Computer
Games and Electronic Publishing, Music and the
Visual and Performing Arts, Publishing,
Television and Music.”
What are some actual examples of arts
collaborations you’re aware of?
Such as these:
• Between like or cross discipline arts organization with the same or different
audiences
• Educational
• Non-profits other than arts-related groups
• Corporate and small business
• Neighborhood/community organizations
• Global or national
Class Contribution:
• White House, chefs from the country and public schools promoting healthy eating
• -HUD and NEA proposal
• -Puerto Rican Arts Center and local arts organizations and businesses
• -Chicago Reader and Chicago Architecture Foundation
• -Government municipalities and local organizations
Why did these groups collaborate?
• What problem(s) were they trying to solve?
• Were they responding to an opportunity
within their company?
• Did they have a plan, policy, mandate or grant
that needed to be implemented?
• Did they want to better utilize or capitalize on
a resource they have?
What factor would motivate your
company to collaborate?
• What problem(s) are you trying to solve?
• What opportunity within your company?
• Do you have a plan, policy, mandate or grant
that needed to be implemented?
• Do you want to better utilize or capitalize on a
unique resource?

Notas do Editor

  1. What is a collaboration? Host gets answers from the audience (25pp)  ON EASEL A collaboration is all those things and more, in fact the definition of collaboration still being addended according to Miriam Webster as it is a DYNAMIC word! Collaboration is simply working together, alliances, associations,, in concert, fraternization, joint effort, participation, partnership, and teamwork.   Not just “friends with benefits”  but real relationships that will increase audience base and further our companies artistic outreach. Joining forces with a partner to create a solution to a problem that neither partner could achieve on their own Leveraging resources by allying themselves with organizations to carry out a common mission

  3. Here are a couple I just saw. Here’s one from the most recent issue of Vogue. Elizabeth Dee was the catalyst of last year’s X initiative in NY, an eye opening example of what can be done in a short time, with practically no money, to show a lot of cutting-edge art and create a community around it. She persuaded the owner of a four story industrial building that have been vacant since the DIA art foundation moved out in 2004 to let her have it for one year rentr free as an exhibtion space and put together a board and a program of more than 50 events-town hall meetings, performances, panel discussions, all free and open to the public. By the end of the year, more than 75,000 people had come.
  4. I just had to put this in. When looking for collaborations in Chicago, this article came up. Collaborations: birds do it, bees do it, even beer breweries do it. Apparently there is a category of collaborative beer making-which is exactly like it says here: when two craft breweries decide to get together on a single beer. This one “Collaboration Not Litigation” Beer came about when two different brewers named their beers “Salvation” Rather than fighting it out in court, the decided to blend the two together for a special release. The first appeared in 2007 and there have been three releases since. The Open Source movement has hit the brewing circuit. Flying Dog Ales formed the Open Source Beer project to collaborate with several homebrewers and beer fans on a committee on a recipe. Truly a beer brewed by committee. And finally, Reunion-A Beer for Hope is an annual series of beers, a diffferent style each time, sold as a fundraiser for bone cancer research. The first year Pete’s Wicked got back together to brew the first release. Following years, beers were collaborations of several breweries, all using their distribution sources to raiser more money. Three great collaboratiave ideas to learn from: resulting in great public relations, increased sales and distribution with totally new products.
  5. Perhaps Chicago needs to include an award like this?
  6. (Get answers from the audience put on easel) Here I brought three but we need more-small, large, any size   CorporateHP Arts Services, GE Council for Humanities, Arts Administration, Film Commission, Ford Motor Company Arts Council, Unions, Charitable Org.   Civic Transit, Museums, Parks, Public Installations, Sanitation, City Festivals, Art Schools ,Libraries, Historical Societies, Recreation Department, Hospitals/Health Centers   Peer Other like theater companies with different audience, cross disciplinary artists, arts clubs, private interest groups specializing in theater content,   Community Restaurants, local specialty stores, schools, Ethnic neighborhood groups, Community Boards, local festivals, bars, clubs, local fundraising efforts, Charities, Churches    
  7. Let’s go back to the examples you just gave and see if we can figure out what motivated these groups to collaborate. What problems were they trying to solve? Lack of core audience Losing core audience Lack of funds Lack of space Lack of specific skill set Lack of resources (other than money) Lack of exposure to target audience Lack of “credibility” with target audience Lack of technology Lack of “connected” board members Opportunity New and/or Expanded Space Diversity in Cast New Creative /Program/Curatorial Direction New Players/Staff New Skill Sets New Funding New Resources (other than money) New/Change of Brand New Technology Resource Programming Facilities Personnel (box office, back office, etc) Marketing/PR Niche Skill Sets Community Connections Communications Technology/Web
