Music Curation Through Artist Festivals

Friday, March 18
12:30PM - 1:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 17B
531 E 4th St

As the universe of music festivals continues to simultaneously expand and contract, one model that has had success is the artist-curated event. From Solid Sound to the Gathering of the Jugglalos there are many ways to approach this challenge. We'll discuss all aspects of the process particularly the sweet sauce of booking a lineup that both satisfies curator and audience with professionals who have pulled off the challenge successfully. We'll also discuss how the creators keep the concept relevant over time.
