Bay Area Big List

The Bay Area Big List is one of the largest and most comprehensive collaborative mailing list and research programs in the country. Since 2008, the Bay Area Big List has served over 200 Bay Area arts organizations to provide better, smarter direct mail and research options.

The goal of the Big List is to help organizations mail smarter -- to send fewer pieces of mail to people across the Bay Area who are more likely to appreciate getting information about the thousands of events in all genres that happen in the Bay Area each year. In addition, the data in the Big List provides a robust base for better understanding the way that the arts impact individuals in the Bay Area, and explaining the role of the arts to funders, government officials and individual patrons.

The Bay Area Big List is open to arts non-profits of all genres and sizes that have substantial audiences in the San Francisco Bay Area. In most cases, but not all, that means that the organization performs in the Bay Area.

If you would like your organization to join the Big List, please email Clay Lord at clay@theatrebayarea.org. The Bay Area Big List is open for new members one time each year, in the late fall.

If you are an individual patron who would like to have your name and address removed from the Bay Area Big List, please email your name and address (counterintuitive, we know, but necessary) to clay@theatrebayarea.org with the subject line "Please remove me from the Big List," or call him directly at 415-430-1140, x22.
