Course Summary

The course is delivered through face to face lectures, tutorials and presentations.
he course will examine key aspects of national and international arts management with particular reference to arts organisations in a cross-cultural context. This will entail a consideration of current practices in Australia and overseas with respect to economic, political and socio-cultural factors. You will be introduced to issues relating to: resource and fiscal management; fund raising; policy development and implementation; entrepreneurship; and marketing and communication.
For working on the international arts management area - and increasingly in the national arts management area - each person needs to be attuned to cross-cultural issues and ideas that will impact on their work. This course will open channels of understanding of how and why cultures might be different and how arts managers might understand and engage most beneficially in this arena.
