These resource lists
have been prepared as part of the CCA's project Creative Management
in the Arts and Heritage: Sustaining and Renewing Professional
Management for the 21st Century, which is financially supported
by the Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation and is
being undertaken in collaboration with the Cultural Human
Resources Council.
The project deals with
one of the most challenging dilemmas facing Canada's not-for-profit
arts sector - how we can keep our current experienced managers
and administrators in the field and provide means for their
professional renewal, and how we can attract, develop and
retain a new generation of committed managers to continue
the work of our present leaders. The Phase 1 report
of the Creative Management project (also posted on the CCA
website) recommended that the resource lists be developed
and made widely available.
The lists focus on
Canadian programs (or in a few cases programs available to
Canadians from organizations in other countries). They
do not include formal educational programs offered by colleges
and universities in arts, cultural and museum management,
which are inventoried elsewhere on the web, or business training
courses provided by the private sector, which are accessible
through telephone Yellow Pages.
With these exceptions,
the inventories provide basic information to inform students
in cultural management programs and others preparing for professional
careers in the arts about available internships, and to help
managers locate professional development opportunities for
themselves and their staff and programs for organizational
development and capacity-building.
Others who may find
the lists pertinent include cultural human resource organizations,
management educators, program managers, and arts and museum
service organizations looking for models and shared interests.
