Inaugural Block Booking Showcase Conference
October 14th - 16th, 2018
Dayton, Ohio
A Message from OAPN Board President, Robert Baird Welcome to the first-ever OAPN Block-Booking Conference. This past year has seen many changes to our organization, not the least of which was the change in name to Ohio Arts Professionals Network. This name change was and is a reflection of the fact that we welcome to our organization, and strive to support, all arts professionals. Our main activity this past year was to reinvigorate the organization and make this block-booking conference a reality. It has taken the combined input and efforts of many people and I would especially like to thank each and every OAPN Board member who volunteered their time and worked hard on so many aspects of this conference. In addition, our three conference co-chairs provided amazing leadership for this gathering in Dayton. Arica Pfirsch, our Executive Director, has been instrumental in so many ways, not only for this conference, but for the work of OAPN in general. I would also like to thank the Victoria Theatre Association for hosting this conference in the Victoria Theatre and Schuster Center, truly one of the most impressive performing arts complexes in Ohio and beyond. As an arts professionals network we at OAPN are very aware of the need to provide value for all of our membership and we hope that this conference will succeed in doing just that. We are offering multiple networking opportunities, an array of juried showcases, professional development sessions and block-booking opportunities. I hope that you take away many things of value from our conference. Post-conference, OAPN will continue to support the needs of all arts professionals in Ohio throughout the year. Robert Baird, President Ohio Arts Professionals Network
A Message from our Conference Chairs
Welcome to Dayton!
Thank you so much for joining us for the 2018 OAPN Block Booking Conference: “Playing with a Full Deck” here in
beautiful Dayton, Ohio. We look forward to showing off the stunning Victoria Theatre.
Our hope with this conference is that you will see old friends, make new ones, enjoy picking up some tips and ideas
from other arts colleagues, and enjoy three days of wonderful juried showcases presented in the historical Victoria
Theatre.
Join us on Sunday for Professional Development sessions for all professionals! The sessions will be covering marketing,
contracts, riders and more. Also on Sunday evening, the opening night party/reception will offer up a fantastic time of
networking and the annual OAPN member meeting followed by the first of the juried showcase blocks.
On Monday, we are excited to have Rodney Veal as our keynote speaker. Rodney is the Host of the Emmy © Award-
winning Television series THE ART SHOW on ThinkTV Channel 16, which is currently in its eighth season. His
involvement in the arts and his passion will inspire you. Following the keynote dinner at the Arts Annex come back to
the Wintergarden and visit the exhibit booths.
Tuesday evening following the final showcases Presenters will attend the Block Booking meeting in the Emerson Donor
Lounges. This meeting will give the Presenters a chance to discuss possible dates that will mutually benefit them in
bringing the showcasing artists to their venues.
We hope you enjoy ”Playing With A Full Deck” at our block booking conference and enjoy the experiences this city and
these facilities have to offer.
Many thanks to the OAPN board, our OAPN members and our new Executive Director, Arica Pfirsh without whom this
conference could not have happened.
Enjoy Dayton!
