Stephen Wainwright, CEO of Creative New Zealand – Toi Aotearoa, commenced his term as Chair of IFACCA on 1 January 2015. In the Arts Leaders Talk series, filmed at the IFACCA CEO Leadership Seminar in Santiago, Chile, in January 2014, Stephen discusses the opportunities and challenges in arts funding, and his personal interest in the cultural sector. The video is available on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6i_SzeQjeI .
In the Arts Leaders Talk series, leaders from IFACCA member organisations from around the world are asked six questions: What are the next big opportunities for your organisation in the future? What are the challenges for your organisation in the current financial environment? Has social media had an impact on your role as CEO? What is the value of IFACCA to you and your organisation? What have you found to be the most effective way to advocate the role of arts in society? What inspires you about working in the arts?
Over coming months, we will be releasing more videos of CEOs discussing their roles and giving a personal perspective on leadership in the arts – including words from Victor Makashi (Zambia), Tony Grybowski (Australia), and Datuk Norliza bt. Rofli (Malaysia), plus many more.
IFACCA's YouTube channel also provides links to videos from IFACCA's World Summits in 2009, 2011 and 2014.
