TODAY – National Day of Action – National Campaign for the Arts

After many weeks of preparation, the National Day of Action for the Arts is here!

What will you do today to add your support to the Campaign? There’s a whole range of events happening around the country, but here’s a few things you can do:

Whatever it is, do something!

Back online!

Greetings, dear readers, and welcome to new ones…

Many thanks for those who sent kind emails during my maternity leave; my first long break from university in 15 years (!) was enjoyed by all (well, I squeezed in a visiting professorship at New York University this summer– old habits die hard– but Baby Myles was able to begin his cultural education in serious style):

Summerstage in Central Park

I’m back full-time now and will resume posting blog entries, selected press releases and the ever-popular arts management jobs list. Please feel free to email me with any events/openings with your organisation, and I’ll do my best to spread the word…

It’s been turbulent times over the last year for the arts in Ireland, between Minister changes, budget woes and cutbacks across the board.  As we look ahead to welcoming next year’s class of MA students in Arts Management & Cultural Policy, I’ll be posting regularly on changes to the arts policy and funding climate and what-all else transpires in the meantime…

Artsmanagement.ie on hiatus

Greetings blog readers… you may notice the blog’s been quiet of late, but for good reason! Due to the pressures of the fall term and my impending maternity leave (I’m currently 7 months pregnant, and will be on leave from December to next summer) I’ve decided to suspend blog posting (including job listings) until autumn of 2010.

Should you have any further jobs or other kinds of announcements that you would like distributed to our current class of MA Arts Management students at UCD, feel free to email me, and I’ll pass on the message.

See you back next year!

Emily

Creative Careers back online

I’m pleased to pass on this announcement about Creative Careers, a new-ish site that’s proved very popular for folks looking for opportunities in the Irish arts sector:

CREATIVE CAREERS BACK ONLINE

Ireland’s jobs and opportunities website for the arts/creative sector is re-launching with an extended service including an Careers Chat Forum, Training | Seminar section, Classifieds section and an RSS feed for the latest jobs and opportunities. You can also place adverts seeking Interns or Volunteers or letting Creative Space.

The site covers areas such as Theatre, Performance, Film , Literature, Arts Management, Visual Arts and Design | Digital Media. CreativeCareers.ie is now fully automated so your adverts go online in a matter of seconds and all services are completely free.

www.creativecareers.ie

I’ll continue posting opportunities specific to arts management here on the site, but for those of you seeking artist and/or volunteer openings, this is a great resource…
