Focus: International Intelligence on Culture > > International Intelligence on Culture is a consultancy with an entirely international dimension, based in London, UK. Led by the expertise of Rod Fisher and bringing together a multinational pool of cultural policy analysts, researchers and managers, IIC monitor cultural policy developments and activity globally. Its services for the cultural sector include policy intelligence, research, project management, training, advice services and publications. > Current projects include a study for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council on Cultural Indicators and the organisation of an international cultural policy seminar in Bangkok for cultural policy makers in the 25 ASEM countries (the former EU 15 and 10 Asian states). Recent past projects have included a study for the Finnish Ministry of Education on the Finnish Arts Council System and research on international experience in regional cultural policies for the Governmental Office of the North - East (England). International Intelligence on Culture also continues to be the contact point for the European Cultural Foundation UK Committee, and is organising a series of seminars at London's celebrated Chatham House on culture and EU enlargement. > With the assistance of their Brussels-based consultant, IIC closely track prospective legislation, policy shifts and funding programme developments in the European Union.

Resource: An Economic Impact Study of UK Theatre > > Theatre in the United Kingdom is admired throughout the world for its quality and creativity. The excellence of its plays, actors and performances are unrivalled. To date there has only been one major survey on the economic impact of theatre as a sector. The Wyndham Report (Travers, 1998) focused exclusively on West End theatre in London. In December 2001, in partnership with key players in the theatre industry, Arts Council England commissioned Dominic Shellard from the University of Sheffield to conduct the most comprehensive economic impact study of theatre in the country, which includes all the building-based theatre in the UK. The summary gives an overall view of the study showing the positive effects theatre can have on the local economy. There are comparisons between London theatres and the rest of the UK indicating the differences in income and how thatincome is achieved. > The summary concludes with actual figures, and recommendations for individual venues to conduct further studies on the impact of theatre on their local areas. More detailed information is given under Key findings, which includes two formulas for defining economic impact and various tables with calculations examining that economic impact. Several theatres were selected to be looked at in more depth - the studies being completed by Dominic Shellard in the last few months - and the results can be found in the Appendixes, along with a list of the theatres included in the study, and members of the steering group. This study marks the beginning of a more comprehensive look at how theatre has a significant impact on the economy. > > Download: http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/information/publications.php > > 6. Book: Orchestrating Collaboration at Work > > You don't have to be a professional artist or world-class musician to facilitate the activities outlined in this book. You should be confident as you apply these concepts from the arts that you are creating business-training experiences that will help to develop new perspectives and insights into what makes a team effective. The book helps you to: inspire trainees to express themselves openly and creatively; create new perspectives for resolving business problems; understand how to use the arts to enhance training results; incorporate the content, form and structure of the arts to resolve business problems; and learn to unlock the hidden potential of employees. > > by Arthur B.

Book: Art and its Publics. Museum Studies at the Millenium > > "Art and its Publics" explores the interface between the art object, its site of display and the viewing public. The volume focuses on museums, their publics and strategies of display. Engines of democracy at their inception during the French Revolution, public museums have since fostered the democratization of art. As museum going has increased dramatically in recent years, the question of "whose museum?" and how museums construct and engage their publics has taken on added urgency. The essays in "Art and its Publics" present a cross-section of current issues with contributions from both sides of the Atlantic and from museum professionals as well as academics. Essayists tackle issues confronting the museum community and seek to futher the debate between theory and practice around the most pressing of contemporary concerns. > > Edited by Andrew McClellan, 213 pages, June 2003, Blackwell Publishers > > Details: http://www.artsmanagement.net/Books-id-519.html > > ***************************** Advertising ********************************** > > With both our website and our newsletter, we offer the chance for you to > promote your seminars, services or products: > > - about 100.000 pageviews/month at http://www.artsmanagement.net > - about 150.000 pageviews/month at http://www.kulturmanagement.net > - about 11.000 registered users at 2 online platforms > - about 2.800 subscribers for the English newsletter > > Arts professionals mainly in Europe, North America and Australia/Pacific > Area using our information services to look for the latest news in arts > management practise, education and research. > > Submit commercial news, events or seminars with attractive conditions: > > ---> http://advertising.artsmanagement.net > > ************************* End of Advertising ******************************* > > 8.

Review: 14th IAMA conference in Genoa. Networking is still king > > The 14th International Conference of the International Artist Managers' > Association was held from 15 to 17 April in Genoa. Since this event took > place in Italy for the first time ever, the conference has been given as > main topic "The Mediterranean Perspective" in Arts management, focusing on > arts managers' contributions from Greece, Lebanon, and Sicily. In addition, > IAMA management offered breakout sessions on Opera dissemination, Corporate > Social Responsibility and Audience development. Italian flair succeeds: most > of the about 400 delegates used these days on the rainy Mediterranean coast > not only for chatting about Arts management but even more for talking > business. > The clear benefit of IAMA's conference is that you can easily meet most > industry insiders in person at a single venue. For many members, this might > have been the major reason to attend, given the conference's enormous > participation fee. All above mentioned workshops neither raised major > interest among the delegates nor did they offer those attending any > significantly new insights into the arts management business. Given the > large number of speeches and interviews, time frame was not sufficient to > get into much detail and hence they had to remain on the surface. > Not to speak about professionalism, the conference organisation was even > trying hard to cope with basic requirements. Delegates complained about > badly organised coffee breaks and lunch times, Luncheons and dinners being > sponsored revealed poor quality, and most of the delegates had to dine on > the go since chairs were hard to find around the buffet. Not easy to explain > registrations fees of up to ?534 for the conference - since the venue was > sponsored by the City of Genoa authorities as well. > Nonetheless, business flourished for the participating arts agencies and > promoters who knew to seize the opportunity in numerous one-to-one meetings, > negotiations, and networking talks. > [An article by Marcus Axt, correspondent, Bonn, Germany] > > 11. Review: AAAE Annual Conference 2004 in Dallas, Texas > > "The Road from Education to Practice" > The 2004 Annual AAAE Conference was hosted by Southern Methodist University's Arts Administration program at the Westin City Center Hotel in Dallas from April 22-24. More than 50 program directors from North America, Australia, China and the Netherlands participated in this three day meeting. > The conference focused on "The Road from Education to Practice" and continued AAAE's work on content standards and program development for arts administration education, including several approaches to teaching methodology and technology.

The conference emphasized the connection between theory and practice and explored the challenges arts administrators' educators face today. > Five committees were formed at the conference to continue the started work in Chicago. All AAAE members are invited to join these committees.
