LA Stage Alliance was formed over 35 years ago by leaders of small arts organizations who realized they could leverage their aggregate power with that of the larger organizations to benefit the entire community. Today, it continues to leverage its power but in new and different ways. Terence McFarland, the group’s former CEO, has united an even broader community in the search for understanding of the region’s audiences through a project called Arts Census. He and his team have broadening their service to welcome all arts disciplines. They are living their mission “to empower artists and engage audiences.”
