There are also nearby performing arts centers in Poway and Escondido to the north and a panoply of other venues in and around downtown San Diego and in East County.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, I would credit our success to the diversity of programming we have and to the fact we have really accessible ticket prices,\u201d said Kollar Smith, who was previously the executive producer of Moonlight Stage Productions in Vista.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we\u2019ve worked really hard in where and how we\u2019re marketing our events. We\u2019re using social media, influencers and media partners to grow our audience, on campus and off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"Brazilian singer and composer Bia Ferreira will perform as part of the 2025-26 ArtPower season at UC San Diego.

(Courtesy)<br \/>\nFree student tickets<\/p>\n<p>There are at least two other factors that help account for the increased attendance.<\/p>\n<p>This was the second consecutive season in which ArtPower offered free tickets to UCSD students \u2014 and the third year it held concerts and other events at the $70 million Epstein Family Amphitheater.<\/p>\n<p>The 2,650-seat venue, which opened in late 2022, has hosted concerts by a broad array of artists that ranges from Anoushka Shankar, the San Diego Symphony, Antonio Sanchez and Manhattan Transfer to Oumou Sangar\u00e9, Gregory Porter, King Britt and Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Famer George Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the number of free student tickets that were made available increased by 61%, Kollar Smith said, from 4,000 in the 2023-24 season to 6,500 for the season concluding today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all about communications from our team to ensure students know the availability is there and that the tickets are always free for them,\u201d said Campus Performance and Events Office Associate Director of Artistic Planning &amp; Outreach\u00a0Liz Bradshaw.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother thing is the programing we do at the amphitheater, which plays a massive role in attracting students \u2014 not just to performances but to the weekly Tuesday farmers market and other events. For us it\u2019s important to keep the amphitheater active throughout the school year, as weather allows. The more that space is activated, the more students know to look for what\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kollar Smith agreed, adding: \u201cArtPower is a portion of what our Campus Performance and Events Office does. But we are serving tens of thousands more through the farmers market, our Asian Night market, Triton Fest, our annual Sun God Festival, and different speakers, concerts and movies that are specifically for students. We do about 40 events a year at the Epstein.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"Bassist Nathan East, left, is making an album with his son, singer-keyboardist Noah East, right.

No fewer than 16 of those are karaoke nights.<\/p>\n<p>The rest are film screenings and concerts by such disparate bands as Yachtley Crew, La Lom and The Cream of Clapton, a tribute band that features Noah East, the son of longtime Eric Clapton bassist (and UCSD alum) Nathan East.

They coordinate closely with Associate Director of Marketing &amp; Communications Joanna Christian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have figured out a rhythm and a system to collectively work together,\u201d Kollar Smith said. \u201cMy hope has always been to lean into everyone\u2019s unique skills. Joanna is also a key part of that and of how we\u2019ve been able to integrate the different genres we present and grow our audiences. The growth we\u2019ve seen is a reflection of that collaboration and teamwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll three of us have ongoing conversations,\u201d said Agbayani, \u201cand are allied on programming. I lean more into jazz and Liz leans more into dance, but we all meet every week to strategize, plan and sus things out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After working for ArtPower from 2008 to 2012, Bradshaw returned three years ago. This year marks the 10th anniversary for Christian, whose ArtPower tenure began in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe consistency we have had all along at ArtPower is our commitment to bringing world-class artists and rising stars to our stages,\u201d Christian said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are continuing to do that, but on a bigger level. And I think students are a little more adventurous now in their tastes. We see this in the increased number of students coming out to ArtPower events. Global music and jazz are really popular with them, but it\u2019s our bigger shows at the amphitheater that draw a lot of students. And with the free tickets, students are able to take a risk and try something new.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"New York's Bang On A Can All-Stars made its ArtPower debut in 2015 and is returning to the series for the first time since then.

(Peter Serling)<br \/>\nBelt-tightening<\/p>\n<p>ArtPower\u2019s budget last season was $2.5 million. With major belt-tightening now taking place across the UC system, Kollar Smith and her team are striving to cut back on production expenses for the coming season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are, along with all of our campus partners, feeling the impact of campuswide budgets cuts, as you can imagine,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are looking to sustain the growth we\u2019ve seen in ticket sales, while also strategically looking at expenses and our budget to pull back where we can. Like our arts partners in the community, we hope to grow our ticket sales and donations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is largely because of the generosity of donors that ArtPower can offer free tickets to students for all its presentations. But the largesse of its supporters isn\u2019t limited to underwriting free tickets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur donors are critical. They are the lifeblood of any work we do,\u201d Kollar Smith stressed. \u201cThe arts are important to everyone\u2019s lives and help students to develop empathy, problem-solving skills and a sense of belonging. And more and more, we know that not just students but every member of our community is looking for that sense of belonging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is exactly why we want to keep ticket prices accessible and provide experiences in as many genres as possible. Our donors\u2019 support makes that possible, as does every ticket purchased for any of our events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"The Isidore String Quartet, founded in New York City in 2019, will perform as part of the new ArtPower season.
