CABARET
ARTISTS ASSOCIATION STARTED IN TEXAS
Following
in the footsteps of Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs (MAC),
Boston Association of Cabaret Artists (BACA), Chicago Cabaret Professionals
(CCP), DC Cabaret Network and Cabaret West, the executive committee
of the Cabaret Artists Association have successfully filed all of
the paperwork and received the official state certificate for "Cabaret
Artists Association" in Texas. Membership is $25 a year. Benefits
of membership will include member discounts, access to membership
mailing lists, web site links to performer and venue web sites, CD
listings, a monthly newsletter and in the future hope to include -
educational events and seminars (master classes, the business aspects
of performing, etc.) in cooperation with local educational entities
and visiting artists and an annual cabaret show where performers are
drawn from the membership and eventually hope to host Texas Cabaret
festivals and Conferences.
Founded in
January 2004, the group's mission is to promote the awareness and
advancement of cabaret performance as an art form in the state of
Texas. The goals are to develop new audiences, and constantly encourage
the press to cover cabaret via reviews and articles. Modeled after
MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs), which virtually
revitalized the Cabaret scene in New York City and the other Cabaret
associations across the country the Cabaret Artists Association plans
to grow the membership into a dynamic, state-wide organization.
Membership
in the Association is open to all persons actively engaged in the
live entertainment industry as cabaret singers, jazz musicians, comedians,
cabaret proprietors, booking agents, press agents, journalists, performers
and talent agents/personal managers, etc. The organization will be
run entirely by volunteers with membership dues covering the daily
operations and the maintenance of the association web site.
