Cultural Policy, Change and Reinvention.
In a time of static funding levels, where marketing strategies are lauded as the saviour of the arts, leadership is often over-looked as a legitimate means of supporting the arts. To enable leadership to support the arts, it is essential to understand the temper of cultural policy, both historic and current, and then to build on the findings to develop characteristics of effective arts leadership.
Why entrepreneurial arts leadership? This book provides the answer through historical analysis, case studies and a survey of arts leaders, during one of the more challenging periods of cultural industry evolution. The book is grounded in an understanding of cultural policy, management, art history, entrepreneurship and creativity, and is cross-disciplinary. It features a comprehensive bibliography and models of entrepreneurial arts leaders, and will be of seminal importance to arts managers, administrators, cultural policy makers and students.
