StillArt works intensely with approximately ten performing arts organizations annually. Our home base is in Northern Europe, with current projects in Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. Our goal is to help reach bigger audiences, grow earned income, stabilize operations, and pursue greater artistic freedom. Our current signatory service is our Subscription Builder, with which we aim to dramatically increase the base of traditional fixed-seat, fixed-performance subscribers for our partners. Over the years we have also worked with database and ticket solutions, programming, marketing strategy and brand development, as well as strategic organizational and leadership development. We are a network of a dozen people, with half of us working with clients and the other half working administratively behind the curtain.
