Audience Database

Know your audience. Grow your audience.

The Audience Database is one of the largest and most comprehensive collective arts & cultural databases in the country. Registering nearly 900,000 households drawn from over 20 participating arts and cultural organizations, this resource, run on TRG Arts' national Data Center, is open to any arts and cultural companies serving Bay Area audiences. The Audience Database is a powerful tool that helps cut campaign costs, provides invaluable insights through audience data, and makes marketing and fundraising more effective.

The Audience Database is a cooperative, cloud-based patron database that allows users throughout the Bay Area to:

  • Target arts and cause-driven consumers for marketing and fundraising campaigns
  • Access patron behavior
  • Run comparative market analyses
  • Simplify mailing list exchanges
  • Share data hygiene expenses

Who's participating?

Participating producers, presenters, and educational institutions come from all disciplines, including dance, music, museums, art galleries, historical associations, literary nonprofits, film societies, advocacy groups, and of course theatre!

Since the Bay Area network launch, our longstanding community users have included SF Symphony, ODC, American Conservatory Theater, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, San Jose Museum of Art, Marin Theatre Company, Cutting Ball Theater, and Shotgun Players.
