corporate giants, securing funding and managing high costs. Independent players must
innovate, build strong local networks, and constantly present captivating programs to survive in
this industry. What’s it like to navigate this? What are the biggest issues? And for European artists
wanting in on this massive market, strategic partnerships and the understanding of regional
audiences is essential. How possible is it to get there? And what’s a good starting point to attract
venues, promoters, and festivals to start building an audience?
