Art Festival Artist Communications: Before, During, and After the Show
The promoter-artist relationship doesn't end when the booth fee clears. Brakebee keeps your communications connected across every stage of every event — from first announcement to post-show follow-up.
Most festival communications are an afterthought. Yours don't have to be.
The promoter-artist relationship runs through three distinct phases: before the event (applications, acceptance, logistics), during the event (day-of updates, changes, emergencies), and after (thank-yous, feedback, next year's announcement). Most promoters handle each phase with a different tool — or skip the last two phases entirely.
Brakebee keeps all three connected, in one place, tied to the same artist records.
Before the show.
Automated status updates go out the moment you accept, waitlist, or decline an application. Booth assignment confirmations, logistics packets, and payment reminders all flow from the same system that holds your artist records. You write it once. It sends at the right time, to the right people.
During the show.
Reach your full roster — or a specific segment — instantly. Weather changes, schedule updates, last-minute reminders: send to all artists, accepted artists only, a specific category, or a custom list. Every message is logged against the artist's record.
After the show.
The artists who did well at your show are the most valuable leads for next year. Brakebee lets you segment your roster by past participation and reach them first — before your general call for artists goes out. That's a competitive advantage most promoters are leaving on the table.
One history. Every show.
Every message sent through Brakebee is stored against the artist's permanent record. When you look at an artist's profile, you see every interaction across every show — applications, acceptances, communications, feedback. Nothing gets lost between events.
Better communications. Stronger relationships.
Artists talk. The promoters who communicate well — who keep artists informed, who follow up after the show, who reach out early for next year — build reputations that fill their shows faster. Brakebee makes that level of communication manageable at any scale.
