2016 Cultural Leadership Summit - The Art of Successful Collaboration

[media 10456]

Date: 31 May -1 June 2016 (Tuesday & Wednesday)

Venue: The Hong Kong Jockey Club Amphitheatre, The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts

 

In the backdrop of flourishing and vibrant arts scene in Hong Kong and neighboring countries nowadays, arts administrators face greater challenges in various areas, such as venue management, box office, funding and sponsorship. In a time of paradigm shift when personal and geographical barriers are broken down by high-speed internet and other technologies on a daily basis, the society we live in is constantly reshaped by social, political and cultural shifts. As arts managers and artists who, by the nature of our work, operate on these tectonic plates, we need to examine our operational models regularly, in order to be relevant and succeed. 

 

Cultural Leadership Summit is Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association (HKAAA)’s annual major event. With different themes every year, the HKAAA pursues professionalism and constructive dialogue in the practice of arts administrators. With the theme “The Art of Successful Collaboration”, this year’s Cultural Leadership Summit aims to explore the possibilities of collaborations within the culture field and beyond, promoting more integration between arts, business and other sectors for a prosperous future. We will be looking for collaborative frameworks that inspire us to engage in new and different ways within our creative environment, with impacts far reaching beyond the sectoral boundaries.

 

The two-day symposium, with talks, workshops, round-table discussions and networking sessions, will bring together renowned cultural leaders and creative entrepreneurs from the city and overseas. The Summit aims to help further understanding the issues of successful collaborations between Artists and Managers, their creative spaces and different cities, as well as the society at large, for a prosperous future.

 

The Summit will benefit arts administrators from all sizes of organizations, arts entrepreneurs, artists, educators, and decision makers of non-profit sector and corporations, as well as anyone who is tasked with developing collaborative spirit and relationships in the future of their arts and programmes.
