Mike Marriott's Journey with Opportunity Arts

This episode covers Mike Marriott, who’s the Founder/Owner/Director of Opportunity Arts. Opportunity Arts is a company that provides administrative and promotional needs for individual artists and understaffed arts organizations. After spending its first three and a half years in the greater New York City area, Opportunity Arts is now headquartered in Lansing, Michigan, and has remained there for the past five years.
.
With nearly two decades of experience in arts administration, management, marketing and public relations, Mike’s clients have been featured in publications such as The New York Times, Dance Magazine, The Village Voice and The New Yorker. After finding a love for arts administration while going to college on a dance scholarship, Mike has since found something truly special in the creative people in Lansing, Michigan.
.
The conversation ranges from Mike’s long-term vision with Opportunity Arts, to comparisons between the arts and sports, the potential future of Lansing, and ultimately what makes the Great Lake State such a special place.
