National Arts Advocacy Campaigns: Overview of Case Studies and Good Practice
GENERAL
The members of the international Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA) have identified arts advocacy as a key challenge, one shared by government agencies and arts communities around the world.
This report provides a platform for the exchange of information and ideas about arts advocacy by exploring a range of campaigns currently being undertaken or planned by national arts funding agencies (who are IFACCA members). It is the first stage of a research project that identifies campaign success factors, challenges, strengths and weaknesses with a view to exploring the feasibility of developing, with others, a coordinated international campaign to promote the value of the arts.
An earlier draft of the report was presented at the IFACCA CEO Leadership Seminar, which took place in September 2009 during the 4th World Summit on Arts and Culture in Johannesburg, South Africa.
