Frequently Asked Questions

How do you decide which artists to book at the Clarion?

The Clarion Administrator is responsible for booking the artists. The Clarion Administrator consults with experts in the presenting industry, artists' agents, attends nationwide booking conferences, and networks with other major presenters to explore which acts are interesting and touring. He also relies on our own audience members to make him aware of artists they'd like to see perform at the Clarion. He then works with the Clarion Programming Committee to determine which acts are feasible for our market, our venue capacity, and our presenting budget. The Clarion Programming Committee is comprised of Brazosport College faculty, staff, and students, as well as community leaders.

How do you decide what to charge for tickets?

Ticket prices are driven by artists' fees and the production costs associated with presenting a show. While all of our ticket revenue goes to pay for artists and production expenses, ticket sales alone do not always cover the costs of putting on our shows. Corporate and individual donations are a large part of cost of the shows you see. 

How can patrons give feedback on shows or suggest other artists to book?

We always want to hear what you think and whom you want to see. If you'd like to tell us your comments on past Clarion events or if there’s an artist or perform at the Clarion, please email us your comments and suggestions:  clarion@brazosport.edu
