Tips for a successful mu Hi readers, are you ready for some more good news that may be of some help to your music career(s)? Well, get your pencil and paper out be- . c a use '1' v ego tan 0 the rho t item for you I Someone mentioned a pro­ gram called "The Arts In­ cubator", and it's located within the Highland Park Community College complex, in Highland 'Park, Michigan. Of course my first thoughts were of one of those hospital incubators', stocked with a bunch of artistic items. � (smile) But as we talked on I found out that it's really an educational and business pro­ gram. The Arts Incubator is a uni­ que program designed to as- ist Michigan based, African American arts organizations, to grow and develop over three to five -ye ars in a shel­ tered environment, under the guidance of skill'ed profe - sionals and educators. . At the Arts Incubator, or­ ganizations will have access to management support ser­ vices, off i c e staff, office space and the latest in office technology. Organizations in the Arts Incubator will par­ ticipate in regular training programs which will provide information and teach skills and stabilize an organization, and bui ld a sol id founda tion for the future. Among' the topics to be in- cluded will bc: -Defining your market and reaching new audiences -Short and long term plan­ ning for success -Developing and using promotional materials that work -Budget developing and fin fl n cl a I ... p fan n i n g for the 1990's -So you want to tour? Creating an effective booking operation. ' THERE'S MUCH more that will be presented as development goes on. Tenants (organizations) will be selected by using the fol­ lowing criterta: ("one or more must apply"). Organizations must have been in existence for a minimum of five years. Organizations that have been selected to participate in the Arts Organization Develop­ ment Program, which is spon­ sored by the Michigan Council for the Arts; ore' ganizations that are currently on the roster for The New In­ itiative For Arts Program, the Midwest Performing Arts of Dance Touring Programs, or organizations that have ex­ .pressed interest in being housed and/or using the facilities available at the Highland Park Community College to serve as 'an educa­ tional vehicle for the college and the community.
