ArtsWatch Insider: Look how much we've grown * Oregon ArtsWatch
"It's just so impressive how you guys have built this little engine that could into a full scale train for our community. Proud to have been a subscriber since the very beginning."
"In late 2019 ArtsWatch was awarded a large grant that it was not expecting from the Oregon Community Foundation, for arts education coverage. It was a game-changer. That grant was a validation of ArtsWatch's essential arts news. It made us believe in ourselves to stand up taller and dream bigger. It changed lives."
"In early 2020, I was the lone business manager of the organization, but since then it has added: Tech Manager Sponsorship Manager Marketing and Development Associate Bookkeeping consultant Marketing consultant Development consultant Graphic designer A larger, cohesive, working board of directors and several committees (strategy, finance, development, marketing & engagement, and board recruitment)"
In late 2019 ArtsWatch received an unexpected large grant from the Oregon Community Foundation for arts education coverage that validated its work and catalyzed organizational growth. The grant enabled rapid expansion from a single business manager to a team including tech, sponsorship, marketing, bookkeeping, development, and design roles, alongside consultants and a more active board with committees. New reporting areas and deeper coverage reached large audiences, seeded series like Indigenous History & Resilience and a banned books series, attracted academic adoption, speaking invitations, job opportunities, republishing requests, and multiplied opportunities across programming, audience engagement, and institutional capacity.
