WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT

Our Company

Known for our innovative and client-focused approach, Vanderburg & Associates is a team of experienced, highly-practical arts professionals who can fulfil your artistic vision, release potential and improve your artistic lifecycle.

Hands-on Industry Experience

We have gained our experience and grown our network by working for large artistic institutions as well as small, entrepreneurial ensembles and solo artists.

We work across a wide variety of art genres, offering a wealth of knowledge to help our clients create impactful and sustainable art.

Flexible Outsourcing

​We can work in the way that suits your business – project, ad hoc, or retained – giving anything from a few hours solving a business issue, to developing and implementing a marketing and public relations strategy, enacting a business system or developing an artistic vision hand-in-hand with artists and arts administrators. 

On and Off-site Services

We provide solutions for your organizational need where and when you need to guarantee client satisfaction.

Cost Effective and Responsible

We offer client support and consulting at a low fee. Project based budgets can figure in your operational needs, not passing on the direct, up-front cost to the client. You can outsource as much of your artistic operations and needs as works for you.
​
Because we don’t have massive overheads, we’re able to be cost effective.

Zachary Vanderburg, founder

An ​arts administrator, performer, and fundraising professional with 7+ years of experience, Zachary Vanderburg founded Vanderburg & Associates in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020.  Seeing many of his colleagues feel powerless and with seemingly evaporated careers, he began to search for a more sustainable, flexible and vibrantly diverse arts structure.  

A successful, team-oriented, and entrepreneurial leader who energizes colleagues and clients through artistry, productivity and distinction, Zachary has worked in administration at Lyric Opera of Chicago and London's CityMusic Promotions, and he is a founding member and past president of Fourth Coast Ensemble, Chicago's premiere vocal quartet.  An artist himself, he has seen personal success as a classical singer working in Europe and the United States.  Zachary holds degrees from The Chicago College of Performing Arts and Wingate University as well as certificates from University of Maryland's DeVos Institute of Arts Management and Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago. 

Zachary is known for his exceptional written, interpersonal, organizational, and strategic skills.   He prides himself on his ability to equip his clients with these skills, helping them create a structure for their business which allows their art to thrive.
