About this Event
As part of the Rozsa Foundations' ongoing commitment to supporting Alberta arts leaders, this Intersections session (part of the Rozsa Foundations of Arts Leadership program) is being made available to arts leaders outside of the program.
DESCRIPTION
This session engages arts leaders in a deeper understanding of their own role as advocates personally and professionally by equipping them with an understanding of culture’s role and value to various stakeholders including artists, funders, governments at all levels and the broader community. We will examine advocacy approaches and levers that can be utilized to advance the arts as well as map out policies and decision structures within the Government of Alberta and the City of Calgary.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the levers that motivate multiple stakeholders to value culture
- Explain how the system of policy creation and decision making by governments works in Alberta
- Describe the suite of tools and approaches that can assist with advocacy efforts
The session is 4.5 hours long, with a 30 minute lunch break. While some snacks will be provided, it is recommended that you bring a lunch as the food vendors in the building are busy at lunchtime.
