the project
Our story began with an intention to offer panel forums with the goal to bring together local artists who can share their experience, thoughts, expertise and advice with the communities we serve through our Battle of the Teal art program. Local professional and aspiring artists see the value in keeping up with the industry trends and could use the forums as a creative outlet to toss around new ideas and perhaps forming new collaboration(s).
We also understand that there is a need to support our local community artists by providing them with the opportunities to earn their living while achieving their goals as professionals. The acknowledgment, respect, and hard work of practice need to be rewarded and appreciated. The raised funds will be used towards providing panelists’ stipends.
This project will culminate in a 1 to a 1.5-hour-long panel discussion about pathways to careers in the non-performing fields of the music industry with an emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of these fields and how they support one another and artists/bands. This discussion will be useful to anyone considering a career in the music industry, including performing artists interested in learning more about what goes on "behind the scenes." The panelists for this discussion are:
Heath Gmucs (owner, Wax Mage Records/ Supervisor, Gotta Groove Records)
Dave Polster (audio engineer, Well Made Music)
Wallace Settles (booking/promotions/venue operations, Grog Shop/ Owner, Dirty Jones Productions)
the steps
We have confirmed four panelists for the event.
Our team will design all necessary marketing materials by August 1, 2020
We will create an online calendar listing(s) of the panel by August 10, 2020
Tickets will be on sale at cost to non-members by August 10, 2020
We will provide free promotional tickets for members of the partnering organizations
We will host the virtual panel on August 21, 2020
We will provide archived panel recording by the end of August 2020
The panel audio will be re-aired on 91.1 WRUW-FM after the live panel.
why we're doing it
After so many years of serving the kids we see the importance and the value that mentors, panelists, and other art professionals bring to the table…they are professionals, they have their worth, their time is worth something, their passion is worth something and we want to show them how much we care. They are part of our community and this is our way to support them. By exploring some career options within manufacturing, retail, marketing, and audio, we hope to inspire and encourage people who may (or may not have been previously) be interested in a career in the music industry here in Cleveland and beyond. The music industry is a vital part of the economy in Cleveland and the whole world; the global pandemic has forced massive hardships on this industry which will need a talented workforce to forge its future in the years to come. Through this panel discussion, we hope to clarify career pathways and open up a dialogue that presents these careers as essential jobs that are both valuable and rewarding.

Thank you all so much for supporting this project! We are so thrilled that not only did we raise our goal, we surpassed it! All the funds will be used to pay the wonderful artists who make this and future Battle of the Teal events happen. This link will take you to our Eventbrite page:

August Update
Posted 08/06/2020 - 12:45pm
Hello, all. Thank you for supporting our project! We have a few exciting updates to share with you. Our first update is that one of our panelists is no longer available, so we will be moving forward with three panelists. Rather than prioritize obtaining a fourth panelist this close to the event, our budget will be adjusted to allow for the update and any excess funds raised will be put towards future Battle of the Teal projects so we can support as many artists as possible.
Our second super exciting update is that Case Western Reserve University's radio station, 91.1 WRUW-FM, will be re-airing the audio from the panel on their 'Live From Cleveland' show hosted by Rachel Hunt. The air date is tbd currently and we will post another update once we have that information. 'Live From Cleveland' airs on Thursdays from 8-11pm and can be streamed on the internet as well as heard on the radio.
Look for the Eventbrite registration link early next week, we can't wait to share what we've been working on with you all!
