This subject introduces students to the theories, processes, and practices behind strategic planning and decision-making in arts organisations today.

Students will be introduced to core issues in arts management, including arts leadership; strategic planning; governance; organisational structuring; funding and financing; audience experience; conflict and negotiation; sustainability; diversity; equity; and inclusion. Emergent concepts and approaches in the field such as co-creation and agile project management will also be considered.
