Bi-monthly Better Together sessions are framed by a different urgent topic that is relevant to the East and West Midlands and wider arts and culture sector. For Better Together #8: Secondary Income for Arts & Culture Organisations we’ll be joined by Adam Roe, Executive Director at New Art Exchange (NAE), Nottingham.
Secondary income for arts and culture organisations refers to revenue generated from activities outside their public programming. While primary income typically comes from ticket sales, donations or grants and funding directly tied to their programme, secondary income involves more commercial ventures such as cafés, shops or venue rentals. Adam will speak about NAE’s approach to secondary income with a focus on their evolving CaféBar and how it supports the organisation’s wider aims and ambitions. New Art Exchange’s CaféBar serves a 100% plant-based world food menu.
Better Together sessions take place online and offer an opportunity for change makers in the East and West Midlands to connect. We particularly encourage attendance from directors, trustees and programme leads and welcome participants to share with the group current challenges that their organisation is facing, helping establish a supportive space for shared learning and development. Sessions last only 1-hour and prioritise time for open discussion.
New Art Exchange: NAE is a ground-breaking creative space in the heart of Hyson Green, Nottingham and the UK’s largest gallery dedicated to contemporary visual arts from the Global Majority.
