A Real-Talk Checklist for Community Creatives determined to design the future & change the culture
So You Want to Be a Community Arts Producer?
13 Things You Must Absolutely Be Able to Answer About Your Event
truth be told
Your festival is so much more than a show.
A real community-rooted festival is a story in motion. A curated environment. A space for past, present, and future to meet. A cultural festival is an adventure in reciprocity across time, space, demographics, abundance and place.
This is for you if you've started a micro-festival and want to take it to the next level.
This is for you if your current festival consistently receives bad reviews.
This is for you if you are a dancer, musician, culture bearer, or scholar ready to build your first community-rooted festival that documents, celebrates, and sustains your traditions.
This downloadable checklist will guide you through 13 key considerations for designing, staffing, marketing and hosting the best cultural event you possibly can.

This check list is built from over 30 years of experience producing community-rooted cultural festivals and would cost thousands in consulting or academic training.
I’m Anna B. Scott, Ph.D. and I kid you not, I’ve been organizing festivals since HIGH SCHOOL. I did it throughout college, sometimes as a side gig, sometimes just for kicks. I’ve worked in Community Arts at the civic level, in non-profits and as an artist. My Ph. D. is even about the power of community art to make social change.
I produce community festivals. I just can’t help with every festival idea that comes my way. I’ve been mentored and trained on each aspect of making a great experience. You’re getting that same wisdom distilled into an easy to use format for just $17.
Because this isn’t about profit. It’s about power.
And power should circulate within the community it comes from.
The world needs gatherings that matter right now; that bring the love of humanity into focus with clarity, grace and even delight.
