| Jersey Arts List Exchange and Audience Census |
|
This community patron database is comprised of data from nearly 60 participating nonprofit cultural groups. Its purpose is to identify a targeted, qualified and focused group of arts consumers; examine consumer behavior through comparative market analysis; simplify mailing list exchanges; and support statewide arts advocacy efforts. As the most comprehensive database of arts patrons for New Jersey available, this list features information on nearly 1 million arts patrons in the region.
Registration for the 2012 Jersey Arts List Exchange & Audience Census is still available. Free open enrollment ended on January 10, 2012. However, groups may still join the project for a $150 registration fee.

| JAM Conference 2012 |
Expanding on the success of JAM's previous Media Roundtable events, a statewide conference is being planned for the summer of 2012 to focus on the topics of marketing, development and advocacy. To accommodate the planning of this conference, there will be no Media Roundtable events in 2011. We invite you to join executive, marketing, and development staff of New Jersey-based, nonprofit arts organizations statewide for this day-long conference focused on working collaboratively on a unified strategy toward building a strong community of arts supporters. The Thrive! Arts Conference 2012 will take place on June 13 at Princeton University, Friend Center.

| JAM Leadership |
The Jersey Arts Marketers network is structured regionally – north, central and south – to ensure the program has impact statewide. Each regional JAM group meets quarterly and is chaired by a representative from an organization within its region. To help achieve DJA’s annual program goals, JAM has formed three subcommittees, each addressing specific areas of particular interest: Membership, Tourism, and Conference Planning. Updates on the progress of these subcommittees are presented at the quarterly regional meetings.
