It’s getting more difficult to match event reports with artists fees because the dates listed are frequently wrong. I don’t know if all the performance fees stating 12/15/23 are actually for that date. I haven’t found an artist fee dated 12/20. If all apply to 12/15 that show lost a lot of money.

Look at the attendance for the first two shows. The City of Bloomington is using tax dollars to entertain a small percentage of the population. The Holiday Spectacular was better – 1177. Tickets were evidently given away, almost 200 people holding tickets didn’t attend. I haven’t found any artists fees for the Holiday Spectacular either.

The date of the show below was actually 12/15, not 12/18: https://www.artsblooming.org/events/all-events-list-view/-toggle-allpast
