WHY CHOOSE CAS?

EMPOWERING & EXPERIENCED

We’ve been where you are. We’ve handled the overwhelming workload, the board requests, the hundreds of deadlines. We’ve worked with the lack of budget, lack of people to help, and the constant fire fire fire environment.

It’s exhausting and overwhelming, and if you have never worked for non-profit arts, you will never genuinely get both the joy and the angst of working in that environment.

We believed there had to be a better way, and that better way can be shared to make your work better. So Confluence Arts Solutions was started to help organizations just like yours.

Your dream. Our mission.

We believe that art has the power to change the world.

We believe some of the smaller arts organizations craft and create some of the best art there is. You also have the least resources. You are amazing and we want to support you so you can focus on creating art that matters.

We’re also pretty nerdy. Helping arts organizations with their marketing and support, it’s a pretty cool gig. It’s our jam. We really do love it. Like REALLY love it.

"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!"

So who are we really?

One of our favorite questions to ask our clients as we get to know them better is:

If we saw your organization as a person walking down the street, what would they be wearing?

Our answer for CAS would be dark jeans, heeled booties, a bright colored blazer layered over a local artist’s designed tee shirt, and topped off with nerdy glasses on her way to a show or art fair. Meet CASsidy!
