Growing Pains In The Arts
Getting good at fundraising, marketing and governance
Presented by
Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra & Arts Tasmania
About the program
The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, with support from Tasmanian Community Fund Board and Arts Tasmania, is offering a series of skill development seminars for Tasmania’s small-to-medium creative sector. The program is geared to organisations and practices that are presenting great work but faced with constant issues of sustainability and wondering how to get the next thing off the ground.
Over eight separate modules, participants will be able to bring real-life working situations to the table and walk away with a suite of tools and concrete plans to help their practice or organisation. The program is designed to build skills in important areas of revenue generation and governance.
Importantly, participants will have the opportunity to spend time with and learn from each other, and become part of a rich and diverse alumni group with the potential to change the outlook of the Tasmanian arts and cultural sector.
Who should attend?
The program is open to all organisations and individual artists working in performing and visual arts and the wider creative industries. It will suit those responsible for managing arts and cultural organisations, and early-to-mid career arts and creative industries managers. It is also open to post-graduate and final-year students studying creative industries disciplines.
Each module will address key principles of fundraising, marketing, communications and governance and provide time to discuss and workshop current issues.
