Mission and Program Overview
Mission
The block is an alternative, more intimate space where smaller concerts of all styles that reach expanded, more diverse audiences. The block also develops in-house educational programming for children and adults.
The Block's mission is to be Muskegon's musical third place. Sociologist Ray Oldenburg coined the term "third places" for venues that are anchors of community life and broader, creative interaction. We fulfill that mission through thoughtful and varied program curation that attracts a diverse audience; hands-on music education activities for young people; and by making the space available for free or at cost to community groups. Located in downtown Muskegon, The Block is a modern, intimate performance space in a restored 1890 building that formerly housed the community's first YMCA. It boasts state of the art lighting, sound and electronic equipment. Its 12-concert core series includes classical chamber music by members of West Michigan Symphony; and jazz, folk and world music featuring artists from Michigan and the surrounding Midwest.

| The Block has become a vibrant cultural gathering space in downtown Muskegon. Initially drawn by a specific performer, audience members find the venue a refreshing alternative entertainment space: less formal than a concert hall, less raucous than a brewpub! Our strategy is to cultivate these newcomers so that they become regular patrons-whether within a single chosen genre, or drawn by curiosity to experience an array of musical styles. Many of our growing subscriber pool find variety a key part of The Block's appeal, along with the informality and proximity of the performers. We leverage this through our new brand for the musically curious. There is a strong social component to our events. Staff and Board members wear name badges and greet arriving patrons, often by name. A cash bar is available at every performance. Patrons choose between regular and table seating (for a slight additional charge), and the performers remain after the concert to chat and mingle, sign CDs, and answer questions. This engaging atmosphere facilitates on-the-spot verbal feedback. Of course, we evaluate success through more conventional avenues: social media, post-concert surveys, and sales reports. In six seasons, we have amassed considerable qualitative and quantitative data. This ongoing conversation with our audience has helped us to improve the experience and refine the product mix. | $0 | $73,068 |
| Key to the mission is making music more accessible to diverse ages and audiences. Click Clack Moosic (video) is The Block's storytelling series for children ages 3-7 based on the book Click Clack Moo, Cows That Type by Cronin and Lewin [Simon & Schuster]. The format is interactive, giving children the opportunity to meet musicians, learn basic music concepts, and hear original music written specially for the series. The Instrument Petting Zoo, a partnership with West Michigan Symphony, gives children the opportunity to see, touch and try out instruments for themselves. Each of the four instrument families-strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion-are introduced during a 45-minute program. Geared towards children ages 8-12, the 20-instrument petting zoo is a mobile program that is offered at The Block and at area schools, organizations and community events. Debut Strings is a group instruction program that introduces beginning and intermediate students to large ensemble performance. Impacting more than 40 young string players from three West Michigan counties, the group rehearses once a week throughout the fall and spring and performs two concerts annually. Offering a higher level of individualized attention than afforded by the typical orchestra class, the program builds confidence and comfort level and is a valuable complement both to private lessons and school ensembles. | $0 | $12,054 |
