Arts Management - Critical Perspectives on a New Sub-discipline (Paperback)

Interest in aesthetics and organisation/management studies is growing at the start of the twenty first century. This text offers a critical overview of arts management as a vital sub-discipline.

There is a concerted effort to address the artistic, managerial and social obligations of arts and cultural organisations operating in contemporary urban environs.

Topics under discussion include:

* arts research
* cultural entrepreneurship
* collaborations in the arts
* artistic leadership
* institutional identity
* arts marketing
* creative approaches to financing
* organisational forms and dynamics.

The range of sources is deliberately diverse to include the contributions of contemporary artists, prominent management theorists and the experience of arts managers.
