First of all, we would like to send a warm thank you to 2015′s artists, partners, volunteers, billets, and audience members. OBEY Convention VIII was a special installment. The energy and sense of community running throughout the weekend was like nothing we’ve ever experienced. Our team wrapped up the festivities feeling more inspired and motivated than ever.
So here we are. What started as a few DIY shows strung together by friends has turned into a nationally recognized festival. This journey is exciting but also comes with many challenges. Now more than ever, we need to harness the festival’s growth and build OBEY Convention into a sustainable organization, one which will be a champion of contemporary music and art in Halifax for years to come.
To this end, we feel it’s important to build a strong membership. On one hand, we need to find new streams of revenue in order to keep up with the increasing demands of running an active non-profit. But we also want to implant ourselves more directly into the fabric of Halifax. We want to build a foundation of community support and have direct access to the people invested in our success.
If you would like to see OBEY Convention exist well into the future, please consider becoming a member. The packages are priced reasonably and offer many incentives, including discounts and full festival passes. If you have any questions, shoot us an email.
Together we can make Nova Scotia a thriving centre for the arts. Thanks so much for your support.
