We’ve got some great news for future members and partners! After receiving such helpful feedback from our 2009 – 2010 year partners, and recently growing our development team and support staff, we’ve decided to GIVE AWAY FREE MEMBERSHIP TO ORGANIZATIONS willing to try us out. Click here to go to our website and view our powerful features. (Or simply double-click the video below to for a tour of features). Our 2009 clients included:

  • The Juilliard School (NY) – Partnered to streamline applicants for the Summer Percussion Institute and Summer Dance Intensive.
  • The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (OH) – Partnered to streamline applicants to undergraduate and graduate programs, students submitting CDs/DVDs as a prescreen or auditioning remotely.
  • The Ragdale Foundation (IL) – Partner Artist in Residency to get professional artists in the door for summer residencies. (… AND, they even setup programs for their first deadline in under a day. Great Work)

    • So, what does ArtsApp do? Glad you asked – ArtsApp is a revolutionary social network and media management tool that allows artists to submit multimedia audition materials (Music, Video, Documents and Images) in a controlled digital environment. Schools can receive auditions and interactivity with applicants in a focused arts network, and built-in review tools allow instructors to evaluate applicants online.

    Our easy to use form builder templates are also customizable, allowing you to collect resumes, letters of recommendation, and applicant-specific information to your heart’s content. Plus, we can integrate with any existing database that you may have, syncing your new ArtsApp data directly to your existing information.

    Under this promotion, Applicant fees will still apply. The price per portfolio submitted is $10 per person. Any portion of this $10 fee can be subsidized by your School or Organization.

    So the deal is Free Pro membership for your first year (a $2000 value) valid until September 1, 2011). Administrators can also underwrite any portion of applicant fees, or add fees of your own through your branded portal. Come Fall 2011, we will move to a tiered fee structure, with memberships starting at $100/mo (or $1,000/year).

    After your free year trial period, we’re confident that you’ll be satisfied and continue to grow with us. If you’re not satisfied, we’ll happily shake hands and part ways.

    To talk to a human, Call us at 513.278.7277.

    OR, pop us an email: NewFriends [at] artsapp.com.

    Also, feel free to poke around our site a little – www.artsapp.com

    Thank you! We look forward to hearing from you.
