Support to Major Performing Arts Organisations
We are pleased to release our latest D'Art report, Support for Major Performing Arts Organisations: Preliminary Report on Definitions and Issues, a first step in our co-hosting a mini-summit on this topic with the Australia Council for the Arts in Adelaide, Australia, in early 2008. The aim of the D’Art is twofold: to identify key senior executives in national arts councils and ministries of culture to take part in the mini-summit; and to identify key themes and issues and develop information resources for the mini-summit. The report outlines preliminary information on definitions of major performing arts organisations adopted by agencies, and a prioritised list of issues identified by the 15 respondents from 14 countries. More information on the mini-summit will be announced later in the year. more >
Report on IFACCA's Researchers' Workshop 2007
On 9-10 March 2007, the second workshop for IFACCA researchers was held in Singapore, hosted by the National Arts Council of Singapore and IFACCA. As well as providing an update on their own research programs and priorities, delegates discussed IFACCA's program, helped prioritise future D'Art research topics, and suggested ways that IFACCA could better promote its research-related programs. Other topics discussed included statistics and indicators, and the independence of government arts funding. Delegates were treated to presentations on a number of key international initiatives, including the Compendium of Cultural Policies in Europe, the Culture 360 portal, and UNESCO's cultural statistical program. A report on the workshop's discussions and recommendations was presented to the IFACCA board at its meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, in march. To read more, view a report on the workshop here more >
