The CAS Story

Born from a need in our industry.

Our founder, Lynette Shy, has worked in the arts & entertainment industry for over 20 years. Throughout her various roles with numerous organizations, one truth became clear: there are not enough resources that understand the unique challenges of small to mid-sized arts organizations. Time, budget, staff; the problems were many, but the solutions were few.

So CAS was born.

Confluence Arts Solutions wants to be the solution. Let us fill the gaps and create clear, concise and efficient plans that help you utilize your time, money and people to the best of their abilities. Our passion for providing affordable support frees you up to focus on your passion: creating art and spreading it to all of your audiences new and old.

We Work for Them

"Working with Lynette Shy and Confluence Arts has been extremely beneficial for City Ballet of Cleveland. The guidance, suggestions, and feedback offered in each meeting have been invaluable. Lynette and Megan have helped me tranistion into my role as Executive Director of City Ballet of Cleveland with ease and I appreciate the marketing knowledge I have gained working with them."

"Working with Lynette and Megan at Confluence Arts has been a real joy -- and brought about big success! We are a start-up nonprofit artists residency, and with Confluence Arts guidance, we went from zero clients to robust bookings in a matter of months, all while keeping within our limited budget. Highly recommended!"

"Working with Confluence Arts Solutions has taken our marketing efforts to a much higher level with more consistency. Getting guidance and follow through from experts in the non-profit arts field has been an unparalleled experience. We are now able to learn more about our audiences buying preferences, create stronger campaigns, and strategize new ideas. Lynette and Megan are also an absolute joy to work with while using their strong connections in the field to enhance your portfolio. Highly recommend!"

Drop the stress!

Working in non-profit arts comes with a lot of baggage: low budgets, small staff sizes, and in our experience too, a lot of tears. Let’s get rid of that being the norm!

At CAS, we are committed to flipping that script. Our services are here to take some of the stress off of your plate, provide beneficial expertise to make your future workload lighter, and offer one-on-one or self-paced settings for what works best for your organization.
