Considering art for appreciation is an emotional yet formal process for investors and collectors. Showing efforts and workings of thought brings to life a craftsmanship that aesthetic onlookers have been missing. Qualities that again incorporate Berlins young and older artisans suggesting that a detailed idea is worth more.

Across the Bridge - Werktage Building Berlin-Mitte, September 3rd/2002
Built in the early 1900s, the Werktage is currently undergoing a renovation of it´s interior components and now houses not only the gallery and studio spaces, but also the craft- and print-shops and musical studios. The Werktage is an incredible environment for exhibitions, opening up the collected arts and producing an invigorating atmosphere to experience.
Across the Bridge, which began in 1996, has branched out far beyond it´s home in Long Island City with showings across the continents. This is hardly suprising since the artists themselves originate from all corners of the world including Venezuela, Italy, Germany, Peru and the U.S. With expansion has come transformation and the current form (what is another word for this, I am thinking as in evolution) of Across the Bridge is both inspiring and informative.

Several of the authors of CANs essays about the field of community arts refer to a devastating RAND study of the financial prospects for U.S. performing-arts organizations. The same study, mentioned in APInews #25, has been quoted at every arts conference since it came out in September 2001.
Small organizations, its says, will probably survive by looking to their communities, and large organizations will harvest the big philanthropic bucks. Its the mid-sized groups that have to worry. The study, "The Performing Arts in a New Era" by Kevin McCarthy, Arthur Brooks, Julia Lowell and Laura Zakaras, costs $20 in paperback, but its available as a free download from RAND's Web site. The site also offers a quick-reading research brief.

Der Akt des Sammelns ist kein einfacher. Denn kulturelle Angelegenheiten haben politische Implikationen.
Im Rahmen der Projektreihe "storyline" besucht "schnittpunkt" die Schausammlungen von unterschiedlichsten Museen in Wien um aufzuspüren, welche Blickwinkel in den jeweiligen Dauerausstellungen präsentiert werden. Der Akt des Sammelns stellt ja im Selbstverständnis dieser Institutionen eine Kernaufgabe dar. Wie wird aber diese Kernaufgabe an die Öffentlichkeit getragen?

Dirk Schuetz and Dirk Heinze were special guests of two meetings of professionals in the Canadian Arts and Heritage Sector. At September 12th both founders of this network joined the meeting of O-ACE-IS, an initiative of the Association of Cultural Executives (ACE) aimed at bringing arts professionals together to exchange experiences and connect with colleagues. At the session, co-sponsored by ACE and the Co-op Arts Management Program at the University of Toronto at Scarborough, John Brotman, Executive Director of the Ontario Arts Council, commented on his experiences this past year at the Council. About one hour before, the two German guests met the team of William Poole (University of Waterloo, ON) and talked about the future of learning and knowledge transfer for arts managers, especially inspired by a private demonstration of Dave Barr from Waterloo's famous Center of Cultural Management.
At September 13, Dirk Schuetz and Dirk Heinze went to the Canadian capital Ottawa, where they came together with about 15 cultural management representatives in Canada in the conference room of the Canada Council for the Arts. Beside a deeper interest in the current situation of arts financing in Germany behind the discussion of cutting the subsidies from federal or regional bodies, both sides were convinced in the fact, that the aspect of human resource development should come more in focus not only in Canada and Germany. First steps has been made with the case study "Creative Management in the Arts and Heritage: Sustaining and Renewing Professional Management for the 21st Century", just released with a first level by the Creative Management project partners.

The training of arts/cultural administrators in Taiwan is related to the development of Taiwans arts/cultural administration and the centralized system of the government. In this top-down system, the government has long played a leading role in the development of arts/cultural policies and enterprises. The Constitution of the Republic of China (Taiwan), established in 1946, Chapter 13, Section Five: Education and Culture, Article 164, 165 and 166 describes the basic principles for promoting arts/cultural enterprises. Article 164 says that:
Funds earmarked for education, science, and culture shall be, in respect of the Central government, not less than 15% of the total national budget; in respect of the Provincial government, not less than 25% of the total Municipal or County budget. Educational and cultural foundations established in accordance with law, and their property shall be protected (the Council of Cultural Affairs, 1995, p. 22-23).

This newest course - offering of the Program in Arts Administration at Columbia University Teacher's College in New York City - will examine critical issues in the continuing use of technology in the arts for arts managers. It will combine relevant intellectual exploration of educational and artistic issues with a focus on practical concerns such as content, protection, function and delivery of technological methods and innovations in the arts with particular emphasis on their effect and demands on arts managers. The purpose of the course is to expand creative thinking for actual and aspiring practitioners in the arts. It will examine some of the conceptual thinking in the area, practical tools, form vs. function, communication and educational challenges, dilemmas and potential. Technology will include the Internet, audio delivery, interactive technology, email, and television.

The topic of this paper is the question how arts managers can apply the results of cultural economics to their work. The usefulness of cultural economics shall be tried on two main questions of arts management:
-How to raise money for projects, and
-how to spend it economically and reasonably.
The second question is discussed using the Rational-Choice-Theory and Baumols Cost-Disease-Model. To answer the first question income and price elasticities of the arts are explained.
The author comes to the result that very few results of cultural economics can directly be applied to arts management. Nevertheless, many considerations of cultural economics are worthwhile to look at for people working in arts management, as they clearly describe the conditions under which arts institutions are working.

The rather playful title of this workshop suggests the reluctance - bordering on resistance - of some educators to take advantage of the World Wide Web as a pedagogical support tool for their coursework. Once people stop viewing the Web and the opportunities it offers as an end in itself but rather see it as a means to an end, namely the use of the Web to enhance, expand and enlarge the learning process, this reluctance usually diminishes significantly.
Of course, a large of number of people have taken the leap to embrace information technology as a curricular or co-curricular tool with varying levels of success. In my opinion, the level of success most people have experienced is directly proportional to the level and rigor of planning and research that preceded creation and implementation of Web-based tools. Simply put: the more a person understands a tool and its capacities, and thinks strategically and thoroughly about how that tool can be of service, the more successful that person will be with that tool.
