Project Name 15th Annual Carlsbad Music Festival Project Summary We request support of $10,000 to help fund artist performance fees for the 15th Annual Carlsbad Music Festival. Last year artist fees totaled $22,500. For 2018 we project artist fees of $30,000 with a total event budget of $142,000. The 3 day August event has received critical acclaim from regional and national press for presenting world class artists and attracting attendees from greater Southern California, multiple western states, the east coast and Mexico. Over 50 diverse musical performances in both free and ticketed settings are enjoyed on multiple indoor and outdoor stages in the ocean adjacent setting of Carlsbad Village. Project Dates Date Project Start November 2017 Project End September 2018 Funding Request from the City of Carlsbad's Cultural Arts Grants 10000 Total Project Expenses 150000 Total Number of Expected Participants and/or 9000 over 3 days Audience Attendance for Project Provide a brief organizational history and The Carlsbad Music Festival was founded 15 description of accomplishments in the previous years ago by Artistic Director, composer, year. Princeton doctoral candidate and Carlsbad native Matt McBane. What started as a passion project to present "adventurous music by the beach" has grown significantly in size and scope over the years. The organization prides itself on bringing world class musicians spanning many genres to residents of a community that would otherwise have to travel out of the region for such an experience. On any given day event attendees can enjoy performances of contemporary classical, jazz, a wide-ranging presentation of world music, emerging independent artists, popular regional favorites, operatic singers and other internationally renowned musicians. As the festival has evolved, smaller pre-festival showcases have also been added to create awareness and anticipation of the multi-day multi- stage end of summer event. The most recent festival held this past August is arguably the most successful and well organized event to date. With a commitment from St. Michaels Church to donate both year round office and performance space; the addition of new ticketing and customer relationship management software; the addition of a year round bookkeeper / accountant; the hiring of a seasoned music industry professional to produce the event; utilizing experienced non-profit performing arts professionals to execute various functions, and incorporating over 75 volunteers from both the community at large and from a partnership with Camp Pendleton the Carlsbad Music Festival is positively evolving to better serve the community and while enjoying its growing popularity. What makes this project distinctive? Nowhere in the region does any presenter make available to the public a program offering comparable to that of the Carlsbad Music Festival. With over 80% of our event performances being free to the public and held in open family friendly public spaces, the Carlsbad Music Festival is unique in both its offering and spirit. Press accolades include: "A willingness to take risks, to see how far adventurous music by the beach can go in telling us new things about ourselves ... CMF is doing it right." -Marcus Overton, San Diego Union-Tribune, August2017 San Diego CityBeat previously wrote, "Carlsbad Music Festival has quickly made a name for itself as one of the best single gatherings of diverse, avant-garde musicians in Southern California." KPBS reported we are "one of the area's most innovative music showcases." The Los Angeles Times describes us as "magnificently enlightening." And Alex Ross of The New Yorker (perhaps the most respected music critic in the country) calls the festival a "starry array of new-music specialists." In 2010, Carlsbad Music Festival won the national ASCAP/Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming. To attend concert performances of our caliber, one would typically have to travel to a larger cultural metropolis such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago or New York. Carlsbad Music Festival brings that experience home to Carlsbad Village in a unique sea side setting. What are the outputs and/or outcomes of the (1) The Carlsbad Music Festival consistently project? provides performance opportunities for local and regional musicians, including the Carlsbad High School Chamber Orchestra, to be part of a lineup alongside world class artists. (2) With the exception of the High School Orchestra students all performers are paid a fee for their participation regardless if their performance is part of a free or ticketed stage. (3) Production of the event requires the purchase of goods and services from local vendors that includes, but is not limited to: arts labor (technical crew, staff, etc.); design and printing; catering; student jobs; digital marketing and local promotions. (4) The festival is responsible for positively impacting Carlsbad tourism metrics and local businesses by means of out of town attendees. Approximately ½ of our premium tickets were sold outside of the region. The majority of these were three day passes indicating the need for overnight stays in and around Carlsbad. We estimate more than 200 overnight stays were generated as a result of the event. (5) Local artisans, vendors and food providers are given the opportunity to present and sell their goods at the event. (6) Most importantly thousands of local, regional and out of region attendees are able to experience multiple free world class musical performances in a festival setting. How will the project be evaluated to measure outputs and/or outcomes? (1) Total musician headcount. (2) Total cost to Carlsbad Music Festival for musician performance fees. (3) Ticket sales and free attendee headcounts. (4) Customer survey and software data. (5) Total cost to Carlsbad Music Festival for creative labor and local goods and services. (6) Year to year attendance comparisons. (7) Press reviews. How will the project address community needs, The majority of world class music performances including reaching underserved populations? presented by Carlsbad Music Festival are free. Ticketed events can be enjoyed for as little as $20. Most performances are held outside in public family friendly spaces. Additionally, our festival hub is located only one block from the Carlsbad Village Train Station making our event easily accessible to those who rely on public transportation. The Carlsbad Music Festival has a long history of working closely with multiple local residents, businesses, city offices and public officials including but not limited to Parks and Recreation, Carlsbad Police, Carlsbad Fire, Carlsbad Village Association and the Carlsbad Visitors Bureau to ensure we are able to address local needs and concerns. Who is your target population? What geographic The audience of Carlsbad Music Festival is area will benefit from your program? considered broad in terms of traditional marketing demographics because of our eclectic programming. We traditionally target varying subsets of the regional population concentrating on a 250 mile radius from the festival hub. Promotion is geared towards both local and regional audiences but engaged in different ways. A local audience is engaged in a general sense by creating awareness that our event is an all- inclusive entertainment experience which appeals to all ages. The primary profile of attendees mirrors that of the local and regional North County population. Promotion outside of the local market is driven by the fan base demographics of individual performers. For example pipa virtuoso and leading ambassador of Chinese music, Wu Man, drew many of her fans from the Chinese communities of Orange County. Mexican folk group Son de San Diego pulls supporters from south and inland San Diego County. And emerging indie rock band Trouble In The Wind brings younger regional fans ranging in age from teens to early 30s. Our audience is as eclectic and culturally diverse as our 50+ musical acts are each year. How will you market your project to your desired In an effort to attract a broad yet targeted audience? attendee, the festival utilizes both traditional and new media marketing techniques. Informational mailings to our database of donors plus emails to over 7000 past attendees and supporters is bolstered with radio promotion and advertising in the San Diego and Los Angeles markets. Additionally poster and flyer distribution occurs in genre relevant locations. Digital marketing efforts utilize internal campaigns and third party service providers to promote the event. Multiple email blasts are sent to our national database. Internally our team coordinates with the digital teams of the over 50 performing artists that each maintain their own databases of fans with whom they communicate regularly via email and multiple social media platforms. Carlsbad Music Festival is able to significantly improve its reach by working closely with the artist teams and positively impact attendance by creatively increasing its brand awareness. Third party digital service providers are also engaged to manage various social media efforts. Targeted Facebook advertising is the primary means of digital marketing but Twitter Ads, lnstagram and Google Ads are enacted as well. The targeted out of market regions include Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Riverside counties but due to the nature of our database and social media reach a national audience is still engaged. Targeted audiences are first identified by location then narrowed based on a variety of genre related preferences.
