Marketing Native talent
Gordon Bronitsky: Showcasing Indigenous Performers by CRANKING UP THE VOLUMEThe talent is out there. So are the fans. Problem is, for many artists it’s a question of finding those fans, or more accurately, having those fans find THEM. You could be a playwright, a traditional dancer or a rock band, but the challenges remain the same—building an audience for what you do and securing the funding necessary to underwrite your concert, play, or dance tour. gordon bronitsky
Enter Gordon Bronitsky. Since 1994, his Albuquerque-based marketing firm has helped promote Indigenous artists in North America and throughout the world offering what he refers to as “one stop shopping.” Gordon works closely with clients, he says, to learn “who makes it, who does it, who wants it, sometimes how to make them want it, sometimes how to find the funding."

Writerfella here --
Don't know if it's even woprth the effort to investigate such a purported 'opportunity'. In the 80s, writerfella got involved with something called the 'Native American Talent Guild', which turned out to be a scam. In the 90s, he got involved with something calling itself the 'Native American Producers Guild', which turned to have little or no regard for writers and made its business the promotion of filmmakers only. Then, in the 21st Century, writerfella involved himself with the Four Directions Talent Hunt being offered by the Oneida Tribe of New York and NBC, only to find that the pursuit awarded its prizes and job interviews to Oneidas and affiliated northeast tribes only.
Thrice-burnt, thrice-I'm outta here!
All Best
