I've started researching venues around the country that seem to be doing what I desire. Hopefully soliciting free advice might yield some great stories and pointers. Hopefully I won't find out that these projects happened because the state or city government hatched the egg...because I am neither of those things.
As has been pointed out to me, the business plan has to come first. Until said advice [hopefully] hits my inbox I can't plan based on prior experience or knowledge because I have none. I can, however, list a few business-minded things I would like to see possible at the Nest.
Inexpensive rehearsal and performance space to be rented at a cost or donated for a portion of the proceeds.
Membership for patrons -- by joining the Nest one could receive discounts on tickets and classes.
A library system to house plays and arts publications for the community to read and borrow.
Gallery space to showcase local art.
Overhead music exclusively by artists whose CDs are for sale at the Nest. Local artists who will donate a small portion of CD sales can receive discounts on renting the space for performances.
Oh so much more to come...
