Hi, Jane
Your issue is ARC's great concern. That's why the Company has been set up. It's a bit like the Star Trek of Rock 'n Roll - "To boldly go where no man goes", that sort of thing. ARC is here to assist local communities to run their own shows and (hopefully!) Not Lose Money. (Company Aims are posted on site, at www.arc.au.com).

Have a read through the information on the Light Up page, questions and answers etc. That should clarify how ARC plans to operate, wherever the Company is invited. You need to nominate a venue. Then we work through budgets, artist availabilities, production requirements and promotional campaigns with your local committee (hopefully a few kids from each of the local high schools and TAFEs etc) until we come up with a show that everyone thinks is a winner. Then we put it on.

We hope the local committees will provide the venue and be able to come up with 50 percent of the underwriting costs. We aim to Not lose money. In fact, shows should show a small return, with a bit of luck. So money may not be a problem, after all.

Let me know your thoughts. Ask the kids to check out the bands linked to our site and see if there's anyone there they'd like to see play. And if you have any web sites we can link, with more information on your area, we'd be happy to do so. That way you learn all about the bands who want to tour and they learn more about you.

Tks fr yr interest. Hope to hear back.

all the best
