Report on Support for international arts activity released as Discussion Paper
IFACCA has recently completed a discussion paper, Supporting international arts activity – issues for national arts funding agencies, which is now available to IFACCA national members.
In order to investigate how national arts funding agencies manage their support for international arts activities IFACCA conducted a survey of members in June 2010 to:
- identify the critical issues for national arts funding agencies in terms of their support for international arts activity;
- identify internal and external factors that affect the success of taking art to the world stage; and
- gather information from national arts funding agencies about their programs and priorities for international arts activities and how these are determined and evaluated.
The survey questionnaire was sent to national arts funding agencies worldwide in English, French and Spanish. Lisa Cahill, IFACCA Research and Project Manager, collected and compiled the survey responses and made a preliminary analysis and the Discussion Paper was written by Judith Staines, a UK-based independent cultural research consultant.
The Discussion Paper, which was discussed at the recent meeting of the IFACCA board as well as the meeting of IFACCA’s European members on 28 September, covers the following key issues:
- Government agencies involved in international arts activity
- Scope of international arts activity and budgets allocated
- Policy objectives and motivations
- Priority countries and regions
- Evaluation of policy and activity
Following feedback from members, IFACCA intends to publish the final report in its D’Art series in early 2011.
