Perry Aston
Founder & CEO, CrowdBoost Marketing

Can you tell us a little bit about what you do?
I own a marketing company with the purpose to revitalize as many local small businesses as possible while connecting the dots to arrange mutually beneficial fundraisers for different companies, foundations and creative individuals.

How did you first become interested in art?
I spent years in the music industry and have a deep appreciation for any creative art. I want to find ways to shine a spotlight on the arts community and support artists by arranging venues for events and fundraisers.

How does art enrich a community, and what are some ways people can engage with art in Burbank?
Living in Burbank, creativity is in the air. One event that I personally love is the Burbank Cultural Festival located in Downtown Burbank every Friday. It’s a great new way for food brands, local businesses and artists to showcase their craft.

If you could share with our community one thing about art, what would it be?
Continue to chase your dream and actively network as much as possible. I know it’s extremely difficult to turn a profit as an individual artist, but it’s very possible if your effort matches your talent.
