EVENT: Breakfast by the Bay - Breakfast by the Bay with Jonathan Holloway : Festivals Mean Business Wed, 05 Oct 2011 07:00 - The Banquet Hall, The University Club of Western Australia Jonathan Holloway Join Jonathan Holloway, the Artistic Director of Perth International Arts Festival 2012-2015, as he outlines the benefits the Festival will provide to the Perth arts and business community in the coming years. He will discuss how he was instrumental in the transformation of the Norfolk and Norwich Festival turning it into a financial success and the benefits it brought to the city. He will also discuss his plans for Perth International Arts Festival as it celebrates its 60th festival in 2012 and over the next four years. Before coming to Perth Jonathan spent six years as Artistic Director and Chief Executive of the Norfolk and Norwich Festival in the UK. Under his stewardship, the festival and its city were transformed: Norwich tripled ticket sales, turnover increased by over 600% and audiences increased from 35,000 to 330,000, becoming the fourth largest city-based festival in the UK. Jonathan’s vision for Perth is to draw visitors to the city and the Perth Festival with world-class artists and performances, to nurture the arts roots of the region as well as offer a program of international and regional artistic exchanges and to increase ticket sales by engaging those who do not traditionally engage with arts festivals, using accessible programming and participation. Presented in association with Perth International Arts Festival and supported by the UWA Business School For bookings please contact Club Reception on 6488 8770 or visit www.universityclub.uwa.edu.au Members $45/Guests $55 Or $450 for a table of 10 Price includes a sit down two-course breakfast and presentation.
