Course Objectives
Public policies in the arts and cultural sector are rarely developed by governments by themselves. In most democratic countries third sector organizations, business firms and civil society are deeply involved in the production, distribution and promotion of arts and culture playing a major role in sustaining innovation in the creative sector. On these grounds we take the perspective of a nonprofit organization operating in the arts focusing on the range of techniques and processes that it can employ to successfully collect funds from different public and private stakeholders. Nonprofit organizations in the arts as well as cultural firms play another role in the arts in cultural policies: often they are advocating the importance of the arts and the need of government intervention. The second part of the course is focused on how governments decide (i.e. policymaking) and intervene (i.e. policy tools) in the cultural sector and how nonprofit organizations might exercise pressure and raise attention (i.e. advocating) on different arts policy issues. To this end we will focus on specific tools such as blogging and the drafting of policy briefs addressed to policy makers. The course will replicate the workings of think-tanks: the class together with the instructor and guest speakers will reflect on different cultural policy issues and cases and on the possible solutions governments might implement.
