May Seminar

6pm - 8pm, Monday 26 May 2008
Warwick Fairfax Studio, Opera Centre
480 Elizabeth Street, SURRY HILLS
(please note : a change of venue for this seminar)

As arts organisations look at ways to ensure audiences and artists for the future, SAMAG presents a seminar to look at how several key organisations have developed successful programs focused at educating these future audience members and providing opportunities for young emerging artists.  

Our panel of guest speakers will include Margaret Moore, Education Program Manager, Sydney Symphony Orchestra; Colin Cornish, Chief Executive Office, Australian Youth Orchestra; Tristan Sharp, Education Program Coordinator, Art Gallery of New South Wales and Kim Walker, Executive Director, NAISDA (the National Aboriginal Islander Skills Development Association).

These leaders of very successful education-based programs will demonstrate how they see their programs contributing to sustainability in the arts; the successes of their programs and the opportunities to come. Each speaker will discuss the key priorities in establishing and maintaining an education program, be it audience or artist, and where (specific to arts organisations) the resources are best deployed.  

All arts organisations have an opportunity to make a contribution to the sustainability of their art form – come and learn from the best!
