  UWA School of Music presents Free Research Seminar
  - Claire Stokes - Making Music Sustainable  
		
Tue, 15 Aug 2017 17:00 - Tunley Lecture Theatre, UWA
		
Claire Stokes
It is widely understood that music, and indeed all arts, are a critical
part of society and we simply could not live without it. However, the
way it is funded and supported in Australia is not set up in a way that
ensures sustainability. Individual artists are expected to be
entrepreneurs as well as artists, often without the necessary knowledge,
skills, and networks.

This presentation explores these ideas in the context of a new
foundation, Arts Initiative Australia, and introduces specific examples
of innovative projects that support the sustainability of music in
Australia. It also offers some frameworks for discovering and clarifying
purpose and impact in artistic endeavours.    Claire Stokes is a
lecturer and researcher at the Centre for Social Impact UWA, as well as
managing the Centre’s engagement activities such as the Social Impact
Festival. Also a freelance musician and pre-concert talk speaker, Claire
was previously Program Manager at the West Australian Symphony
Orchestra.

Free entry - all welcome!
