I've just left my well paid arts management job in a large performing arts centre to spend more time with my young children. It was a bit scary making the decision, but now it's done I'm looking forward to expanding my horizons.
I decided to start this blog for two reasons. Firstly, to give my brain some mental exercise while I consider my next career move, and secondly, to share the knowledge and experience I've gained over the past fifteen years or so working professionally in the arts.
Over the past few years when I've been recruiting staff, I've noticed that a high number of applicants often have postgraduate qualifications in arts management but very little practical work experience. I am hoping therefore, that some of the content covered in this blog might help to highlight the real life experience of an arts manager, and perhaps eventually become a resource for those looking to further develop their careers in the industry.
