Second European Members Meeting
Representatives from eight European arts funding agencies attended a meeting jointly hosted by the Scottish Arts Council and IFACCA in the offices of Scottish Screen, Glasgow, Scotland, on the 19–20 November 2008.
The meeting provided an opportunity for delegates to discuss a number of issues of common concern and the potential for exchange of information and closer working relationships. The topics discussed followed on from the first meeting which took place in Athens, Greece, in November 2007.
The countries represented were Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, England, Finland, Malta, Scotland and Wales. Several members of IFACCA board - the CEOs of the national arts agencies of Canada, Australia, Singapore and Kenya – also attended the meeting, as did the European liaison for IFACCA, Diane Dodd, the Latin American coordinator, Santiago Jara Ramirez. Two representatives of the National Arts Council of South Africa made a presentation about the next World Summit in Joburg on 22-25 September 2009 and Danielle Cliche from the ERICarts Institute, Bonn, Germany, introduced the work of the Institute including the Compendium of Cultural Policies and the recent studies on the Status of the Artist and Artists’ Mobility.
