How Midland Center for the Arts unified operations and improved collaboration with Artifax.
Overview
When Midland Center for the Arts began expanding its programming, it needed a system that could coordinate its many disciplines — theatre, music, museum exhibitions, and education — across one platform. Transitioning from fragmented tools to Artifax gave the organisation clarity, consistency, and communication across departments.
The Challenge
The Center’s programming spanned performing arts, museum exhibitions, and education — each with unique scheduling needs. Without a shared platform, information was siloed and coordination required time-consuming communication between teams. Leadership needed a reliable system to manage complex activity, eliminate duplication, and give everyone access to accurate, up-to-date information.
The Solution
ArtifaxEvent replaced separate spreadsheets and calendars with a single, cloud-based system designed to handle all event types and departmental requirements. The Artifax team worked with Midland Center to design templates and workflows that reflected each department’s structure, while keeping information consistent and transparent across the organisation.
The new setup enabled:
- One calendar for all events, rehearsals, and bookings.
- Department-specific views and permissions.
- Integrated resource and staff allocation.
- Centralised financial data and reporting for leadership visibility.
The Results
Artifax has become the operational backbone for Midland Center for the Arts, simplifying planning and improving collaboration across its multidisciplinary teams. Staff can now schedule, report, and communicate using a shared system that supports the institution’s artistic and educational mission.
Key outcomes:
- Reduced administrative time spent reconciling calendars.
- Unified processes for programming, finance, and education.
- Greater confidence in data accuracy and reporting.
