The Conservatorium of Music is a vibrant centre for research in music
and music education. A thriving community of scholars is engaged in
exploring the frontiers of knowledge, working on a wide range of
research projects with diverse outputs.

This week, Margaret Seares discusses 'Funding the Arts in Australia: the
theory and the practice'

Abstract: In 1996 American academic Mark J Schuster published an article
entitled ‘Questions to Ask of a Cultural Policy: Who Should Pay? Who
Should Decide?’ in the journal Culture and Policy.

This is a perennial discussion, not only in Australia, and the
conclusions he reached in 1996 have changed in relevance over time. This
talk will look at Schuster’s original discussion, and the realities of
cultural policy and decisions over arts funding as they exist in
Australia today.

This is an issue that, in one way or another, is likely to confront
almost all music graduates and can also provide insights into how
research funding is managed in Australia.

Bio: Emeritus Professor Margaret Seares is a former Head of the (then)
School of Music, CEO of the (then) Western Australian Department for the
Arts, and Chair of the Australia Council for the Arts. She has also
served on the Advisory Board of the Australian Research Council and the
Education Investment Fund.
