The 2014 ENCATC Annual Conference report “New Challenges for the Arts and Culture: Is it just about money?” which has been produced during this major international event held from 17-19 September 2014 in Brno, Czech Republic. The report includes a summary of the conference’s activities and articles contributions from a keynote speaker, researchers from the ENCATC Award and the 5th ENCATC Annual Research Session, and a cultural operator. ENCATC hope that this report will offer some exciting teaching material for programmes on cultural management and cultural policy in Europe and beyond and can advance the reflection on innovative thinking about all aspects of arts that impact our society: social, aesthetic and economic ones.
This publication was possible thanks to the Media partnership set up by ENCATC with the Arts Management Network. This collaborative work proves that inspiring projects are not “only about money” but could result from strategic partnerships with key stakeholders from inside or outside the cultural sector.
