Surviving the Culture Change

Posted on August 6th, 2008 in Education, conferences & seminars, Resources by Editor | Print This Post Print This Post

Okay the global focus has been rather on the economic crisis in some countries recently and the effects on our industry. But arts organizations (including festivals?) also need to worry about something else that is threatening the sustainability of many organizations and that is the recent culture change.During an Arts Marketing Summit by the Australian Arts Council, Keynote speaker Diane Ragsdale (Andrew Melton Foundation, USA) gave an interesting insight in what is going on and suggests a few strategies to survive the change.

A complete podcast of her Keynote can be found at fuel4arts.com, but you might wish to start with the commentary on her Keynote by Simon Wellington (Urban Theatre Projects) who also gives a great summary of her presentation.

The PDF handout by Diana Ragsdale gives you the text of her complete Keynote including valuable references to literature and related research.

These internationally patented chairs made of card-board are easy to assemble, light and environmentally friendly, can easily handle 150 KG and are a great medium for your sponsor message and offer your attendees a great souvenir.
