Years ago, the ” punk rock bible” Maximum Rock n Roll published a zine called Book Your Own Fuckin’ Life which listed tons of venues for bands to contact as well as crash pads and whatever else a young punker might need while travelling on the road. Like Vegan bakeries and liquor stores.
Looks GoTour have taken that idea and applied it to art.
GoTour is a new and growing service for independent performing artists, arts administrators, and audiences nationwide. GoTour is for those who create, support, or love dance, theater, music, performance art, spoken word, and multidisciplinary work. GoTour offers five major areas of information:Destinations: a searchable database of artist-recommended local venues, ranging from coffee houses to formal theaters, searchable by region, discipline and size of house.
Local Guides: articles by artists and arts administrators on their hometown communities, places they’ve toured, and how they’ve maintained their careers, plus advice from professionals on topics ranging from legal issues to the pros and cons of touring.
Provisions: local resources recommended by artists and administrators in the community, including supports for the arts, publicity, teaching opportunities, and where to meet and socialize with other artists.Sharing the Road: classifieds for artists to find artistic and production collaborators, services and goods, and other resources.
Speak Out!: a bulletin board service for focused, issue-oriented discussions where participants share resources, brainstorm, and tackle what’s affecting the performing arts community.
They’ve also need help to increase the info in their database, so sign up and enter all the info you got!
