Audience Development Bootcamp is for arts administrators who know they should be using data but aren't sure where to start, what to measure, or how to turn numbers into action. It cuts through the confusion and gives you a structured path to understanding which metrics actually matter for your organization — and how to use them to make smarter decisions about audience growth.
Built on Aubrey Bergauer's two decades of practical experience growing audiences and donor bases at major arts institutions, this course gives you a repeatable framework for tracking, interpreting, and acting on the data your organization already has. No technical background required — just a willingness to look at your work through a different lens.
