4th Annual ENCATC Policy Debate
Under the patronage of the European Culltural Parliament and
in partnership with The Centre – Edelman Brussels’ platform for public engagement
Financing the Arts in Challenging Times:
Policies, Business Models and Good Practice from Europe and the USA
4 July 2014 // Brussels, Belgium
Dear Members,
Dear Colleagues,
On 4 July in Brussels, under the patronage of the
European Cultural Parliament, ENCATC will hold
its 4th Annual ENCATC Policy Debate at The
Centre - Edelman Brussels. To carry over previous
discussions on the Arts in Times of Crisis that
began in 2011, this year’s debate will focus on
“Financing the Arts in Challenging Times:
Policies, Business Models and Good Practice
from Europe and the USA”.
Public expenditure for the arts has decreased
dramatically in the last years both in Europe and
the United States. Arts organisations and artists
are at a turning point where new ways of
managing and funding culture need to be
explored.
ENCATC has invited academics, researchers,
cultural operators, policy makers, students, and
artists to listen to and engage with a panel of
experts who will present innovative examples from
Europe and the United States on how to finance
arts and culture during these challenging times.
They will tackle issues such as: crowdfunding,
philanthropy, patronage as well as the new role of
artists who are now more than ever becoming
entrepreneurs. Participants will have the chance to
interact and learn from cutting edge research and
practical experience.
Confimed speakers include: Mattia Agnetti,
Executive Secretary of the Fondazione Musei
Civici di Venezi; Luc Colebunders, CEO of
Crofun (Crowdfunding platform); Ignasi
Guardans, CUMEDIAE; Elisabetta Lazzaro,
Chair and Professor of Cultural Management at
Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB); Catherine

WWW.ENCATC.ORG
Magnant, Deputy Head of Unit Cultural Policy and
Intercultural Dialogue, European Commission;
Annick
Schramme, ENCATC President,
Professor, University of Antwerp; and Johanna
Suo, Partner, TAG Gallery. The panel discussions
will be moderated by Jill Craig, Deputy General
Manager, Edelman Brussels. European artists,
Emmaneul Beyens (France/Belgium) and
Savinia Tarsitano (Italy) will be joined by the
American composer Morris Rosenzweig and the
American artist, Mia Pearlman. Finally, policy
debate participants are invited to discover the work
of these four artists in an exhibition to open
following the debate. Accompanied by a cocktail
reception offered by Gal Kroton, this will also be
an excellent informal moment to expand
professional networks.
In addition to the lively discussions, ENCATC is
compiling a bibliography of articles, essays,
videos and reports on the topic.
The organisation of this policy debate is an
example of ENCATC’s commitment to developing
new partnerships which is reflected in the strong
partnership established for this event.
The 4th Annual ENCATC Policy Debate is free to
attend however, online registration is required.

ENCATC welcomes a new
member for the first time from
Cuba!
The
Havana
City
Historian Office (Officina
des Historiador de la
Ciudad) in Cuba is the
newest member to join
ENCATC. Established in
1938, the Havana City
Historian Office aims to
protect and promote
national heritage. In 1994
it set up a cultural programme that specialises in
cultural heritage, cultural development and
community projects. Such projects promoted by the
Office are designed for different age groups:
children, adolescents, young and older adults. The
Office also provides information about cultural
happenings in Havana. This includes a virtual
catalog of artists, a cultural map and directory with
information on museums, cultural centres and
information sites, the developments in the historic
center of Havana, and more.
“The Havana City Historian Office joined the
ENCATC network because it wants to be in contact
with professionals in communication and cultural
management and to receive training in several
areas. It is also important and beneficial for the
Office to present its cultural projects to a larger
European and international audience and to set up
possible partnerships and projects with other
ENCATC members,” said Katia Cárdenas Jiménez
on the occasion of her application to the network.

ENCATC cannot imagine a future without the arts
and culture. Therefore, ENCATC invites its
members and followers to support the
#culture2015goal and join the global campaign for
culture to be included in the post-2015 Sustainable
Development Goals. Global expenditure on
development over the next 15 years will be defined
by the final goal document to be agreed by UN
Member States in coming months. If culture is not
mentioned, it will be extremely difficult for countries
to elaborate policies and provide funds for projects
that rely on culture's role as a driver and an enabler
of sustainable development. We've signed. Have
you?

INTERVIEW with Edwin Juno-Delgado
For this month’s ENCATC in Contact we interviewed Edwin Juno-Delgado, a
Peruvian and French jurist specialist in Arts and Cultural Law and Regulations.
He is a graduate from Burgundy University and holds a PhD in International
Public Law. He joined the Burgundy School of Business as Professor of Law.
Today he's in charge of the concentration track in Cultural Management of the
Grande École Master and a member of the CEREN-MECIC research team. His
research interests are dedicated to the "Legal framework of cultural
organisations", "Culture and territory", "Cultural economics" and "Copyright and
cultural consumption". ENCATC Contact: Edwin Juno-Delgado, Burgundy
School of Business, France edwin.juno-delgado@escdijon.eu
In Contact
ENCATC Member from the Burgundy School of Business , France
ENCATC: Why did you join the ENCATC network?
ENCATC: What are your personal expectations concerning the ENCATC network?
I'm the Coordinator of concentration track in Cultural Management at the Burgundy School of Business
(Master 2). Our program is focused on the management of arts and cultural entities. I'm deeply convinced
that our pedagogical programme must contribute to the development of tomorrow’s arts and cultural
managers. In a post-industrial society, cultural managers must be able to innovate, propose solutions, and
support the development of arts and cultural projects worldwide. From my point of view, ENCATC is an
important platform of our programme because it guaranties that our teaching is regularly updated and we
can engage with colleagues and researchers who contribute to the production of new ideas, debates, new
forms of managing, etc. All this expertise provides us with a real intellectual and practical source to update
our programme and reconsider if our current teaching pedagogy is always appropriate for the everchanging arts and cultural sector.
We live our lives through our laptops, smartphones and tablets, thus in my opinion, cultural networks like
ENCATC should continue its efforts to integrate ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) both
in their communication and research exchange. ENCATC members must be trained in how to plan, create,
and exchange points of view, debates, projects, papers, information, etc., through ICT. Open online
discussions, online conferences, etc., that's a way how ENCATC can continue to improve its network. On
the other hand, it should absolutely continue its close ties with public cultural institutions and its
partnerships with the economic world, private enterprises and businesses. More than ever, ENCATC’s
efforts to work closely with the private companies can help these partners to improve their mode of
operation, tools and their understanding of the art and cultural market. Intellectual production in ENCATC
can be more useful for the private and public institutions to pursue their interests, to learn something new,
to hone their problem-solving skills, and to challenge themselves in new ways.

ENCATC: How you would like to see ENCATC further develop in future?
In Contact
In September 2012, our research team CEREN / MECIC (Management of Cultural and Creative Industries)
was created within the Burgundy School of Business (Dijon, France). Our team was founded on a cross
cultural approach working with several theoretical approaches in the field of management of cultural
companies and creative businesses. For us, ENCATC is a unique network in Europe to allow us to share
experiences, projects and results with other colleagues and researchers working in the arts and cultural
sector. The arts and cultural sector has its own research problems and methods, therefore ENCATC offers
the possibility to dialogue about it, with different partners, both public and private.
ENCATC: The 3rd International Research Conference on the Creative and Culture Industries was
organised by ENCATC members the University of Antwerp and HKU in partnership with ENCATC. A

My paper "The Emergence of a Cultural Area in the Dijon Capital of Mustard. Lessons learned and applied
to a nascent cultural area in Dijon" is an example of CCI in an urban context. This paper discusses the
emergence of the "Port du Canal quarter" as a new area that contains a high proportion of cultural activities
in Dijon (France). We will make a critical analysis and advancement of existing theories concerning the role
of culture in urban development and the development of a more detailed comparative perspective of urban
cultural policy projects. An exploratory case study method was developed by drawing on interviews with
local cultural authorities and organisers of small and midsized art spaces. The study explores a set of
necessary conditions and success factors in establishing cultural quarters, emphasises ways in which the
"Port du Canal cultural quarter" contributes to both community revitalisation and cultural development in
Dijon.
EU recognises ENCATC’s key role in Culture in EU External Relations
A new report highlights the importance of international cooperation
The report has uncovered a very considerable
potential for culture in the EU's international
relations and has also explored the ways in which
culture and cultural expression have been deployed
already by European actors in multiple relationships
with their counterparts elsewhere. At the same time,
the inquiry has analysed how stakeholders from
countries outside of the EU have partnered with
European cultural actors and how they view their
relationships with Europe.
Giannalia Cogliandro Beyens, ENCATC Secretary
General, said: “We are very proud ENCATC has
been recognised by the EU for its key role in
contributing to the field of Culture in EU External
Relations. The network has been active in this
field since 2008 when it established its Europe
International Thematic Area, chaired by Professor
Gerald Lidstone from ENCATC member institution,
Goldsmiths, University of London. Furthermore, two
ENCATC researchers from the Institute of Creative
and Cultural Entrepreneurship at Goldsmiths,
University of London were solicited for their
expertise to be part of part of a group of
independent experts and cultural organisations
helping the EU develop a strategic approach to
the use of culture in external relations: Rod Fisher
and ENCATC Board Member, Dr Carla Figueira.”

Call for Existing Data and Studies on the Impacts of Cultural Heritage
Join the growing number of academics, researchers, cultural operators and public
authorities who have contributed existing research and studies
on the impacts of cultural heritage!
Deadline to contribute: 10 July 2014
Project partners will gather, analyse, consolidate
and widely disseminate the existing data on the
impact of cultural heritage – i.e. the social,
economic, cultural and environmental impact. The
result will be a European mapping of both
qualitative and quantitative evidence-based
research carried out at the European, national,
regional, local and/or sectorial levels.
WHAT can I contribute?
This research considers the impact of the historic
environment. It takes the immovable or built
heritage as a starting point, whilst taking into
account that cultural heritage is currently
considered as a broad concept including the
tangible as well as the intangible.
More in particular, project partners ask for:


Studies indicating that immovable cultural
heritage (or heritage in general) has a social,
cultural, environmental and/or economic impact
(studies can thus prove impact on one or more
of these areas);
Impact assessments of cultural heritage on
European, national, regional or local level;
Impact assessments published as a report, in
HOW can I contribute?
If you have knowledge of impact studies, you are
asked to complete this simple online tool,
especially where it concerns a study in a language
other than English, French, German, Spanish,
Dutch or Polish. Studies can also be sent by e-mail
(via sigrid.vanderauwera@bwk.kuleuven.be for
pdfs, word docs, links to webpages, etc.) or by
ordinary mail (hard copies) to:
KULeuven Faculty of Engineering
Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation
(RLICC)
Sigrid Van der Auwera
Kasteelpark Arenberg 1 - bus 02431
B-3001 Leuven (Heverlee)
Belgium
WHY should I contribute?
Help raise greater awareness on the multiple
benefits of cultural heritage! Your contributions will
help project partners to analyse the research
already undertaken in Europe on the impact of
cultural heritage. This mapping will be presented in
a spreadsheet which will allow researchers to
include and analyse relevant data (reference,
impact domain, sub-domain, indicators used,
summary of main arguments to prove impact, etc.)
of these studies. This data will enable project
partners to present an overview of social, cultural,
economic and environmental impacts of immovable
cultural
heritage
to
develop
policy
recommendations, define shortcomings in existing
research in Europe, and recommend a future
research agenda on the topic for Europe.
The project consortium is composed of six partners: ENCATC, Europa Nostra (project leader), Heritage
Europe-EAHTR (European Association of Historic Towns and Regions, UK), ENCATC member, The
International Cultural Centre (Krakow, Poland), The Raymond Lemaire International Centre for
Conservation (RLICC, KU Leuven, Belgium), and The Heritage Alliance (as associate partner from
England, UK).

Cultural Happy Hours at
BOZAR
Cultural Happy Hours at
Banca Monte Paschi Belgio
“As sweet as it gets”
“Influences plurielles”
The second 2014 Cultural Happy Hour event was
held on 8 May in Brussels and welcomed 29
guests to discover the artistic production of Michaël
Borremans with a guided visit of the exhibition "As
sweet as it gets" and cocktail reception offered by
ENCATC member, the Centre for Fine Arts,
BOZAR.
On 26 May, 27 guests attended the third Cultural
Happy Hour organised in 2014. Held at the Banca
Monte Paschi Belgio in Brussels, guests were
welcomed to visit the exhibition “Influences
plurielles” with works by the artist, Emmaneul
Beyens, followed by a cocktail reception.
The paintings of the artist are strongly influenced by
memories of his childhood spent around the world:
"In Brazil, I gained a fascination for bright colours
and semi-precious stones in the rough. Italy has
given me a taste for beautiful fabrics and

artist, his splash of surrealism also gives his
paintings a touch of originality.
His efforts have been awarded the 1st prize of the

Michaël Borremans made his international
breakthrough in the late 1990s with a varied body
of work (including drawings, paintings, and films)
that laid bare the deceptive nature of
representation and the absurdity of existence in a
suggestive, ironic way. Borremans has been
known to make personal references to historic
paintings by, among others, Velázquez, Goya, and
Manet and also frequently alludes to literature,
photography, and film. His focus on the power of
the imagination makes his subversive visual idiom
especially engaging. This exhibition, containing a
hundred works from the last 20 years, offers an
overview of his work. It will move later to the Tel
Aviv Museum of Art and the Dallas Museum of Art.

Countries in the Americas are important players
in international cultural relations, from the United
States, the world’s superpower, to some of the most
important emerging markets, such as Brazil and

2014 Brazil FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Rio
Olympic Games) to the power of the media
(Hollywood, Brazilian telenovelas) or nation

ties, but in the 21st century context both continents
and their relationship are in an accelerated process
of change.

ADESTE asks how audience development is interpreted
in different countries and contexts
In June 2014, ADESTE partners in Italy, the
Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain and the United
Kingdom ran national focus groups with cultural
managers, junior and senior professionals, VET
providers, policy makers. During these gatherings,
focus group participants debated on audience
development challenges and shared audience
development strategies, training methods, and
tools.
The overall aim of these focus groups at the
national, consortium, and European level is to
define the professional profile of the Audience
Developer and the challenges he or she faces:
building wider audiences, engagement, accessibility
to arts and culture, etc.
This phase of the ADESTE project will result in a
report on new training needs and the European
occupational standard profile for the Audience
Developer.
ADESTE is a Leonardo Da Vinci project Development of Innovation, co-financed by the
European Commission. Pooling the resources and
expertise of 10 partner organisations in 8 countries,
ADESTE will develop and train a new
European occupational profile in the fields of arts
and culture: the “Audience Developer”.
Want to learn more about ADESTE or need a little inspiration on
Audience Development?
*The ADESTE consortium is made up of 10 project partners: Fitzcarraldo Foundation, Italy (Project Leader); ENCATC,
Belgium; Danish Center for Arts & Interculture, Denmark; Melting Pro, Italy; Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava
(VSMU), Slovakia; University of Deusto, Spain; The Audience Agency, United Kingdom; Goldsmiths, University of

From 1-2 July 2014 in Rome, partners from the
ADESTE project (Audience Developer: Skills and
Training in Europe) will gather for a consortium
focus group. The outcomes of the national focus
groups will feed into discussions with the European
ADESTE partners who will be joined by the
project’s two international partners: the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United
States and the Indian Foundation for the Arts in
India. This will be an opportunity for project partners
to compare the results of the national focus groups
as there are different views on the basis of the
country in which the audience development concept
is applied, the public or private sector in
which culture is managed, and the specific cultural
area (performing arts, museums, heritage, etc.).
The meeting in Rome aims to also help ADESTE
project partners prepare materials for the European
focus group to be held in the framework of

ENCATC members joined forces to organise the 3rd International
Research Conference on the Cultural and Creative Industries
Changing dynamics between creative industries,
knowledge institutions and urban policy
22-23 May 2014 // Antwerp, Belgium
What took
place?
With the
support of
The 3 rd International
Research Conference on
the Cultural and Creative
Industries was organised
from 22-23 May in
Antwerp, Belgium.
55 participants attended
this 2-day conference that
tapped into three trends
within the Cultural and
Creative Industries (CCIs):
entrepreneurship, the
urban environment, and
the role of creative,
innovative and educational
knowledge institutions.
Opening the conference
was invited keynote
speaker, Ms. Edna Dos
Santos, former Head of
Creative Economy at the
United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD), one of the very first
organisational structures devoted to creative
industry and economy. Dos Santos spoke to the
audience about “The Rise of the Creative Economy”
and provided an overview of developments in the
past decade that have increased the importance of
the creative industries. Nowadays, creative policies
have a very strong place within governments and
the creative economy serves as a strategic policy to
foster economic growth, jobs, trade and innovation,
while contributing to cultural diversity and a more
inclusive and sustainable society.
Professor Robert Kloosterman, professor of
Economic Geography and Planning at the
University of Amsterdam, was also invited to speak
at the conference. From his point of view, there is
no longer a difference between high and low
culture, but he argues that there remains a division
between niche oriented culture and mainstream
culture. The larger-scale, niche oriented cultural
amenities (like Tate Modern) need government
support he says because of market failure.
Furthermore, he stated that the authenticity of these
organisations is threatened by further
commercialisation and commodification and
therefore need support.

Likewise, the KVALUES consortium is glad to
announce that their final conference will take place
in Brussels on the 7 October. The project aimed
at guiding adults and young adults in
disadvantaged conditions to self-evaluate and
recognise skills and key competences acquired
through informal learning contexts such as work,
volunteering, and family and community related
activities (www.kvalues.eu). So far, the evidence
collected showed digital storytelling to be an
effective tool to tell a professional career in a
different and innovative way. To validate the
method, the consortium is also interviewing human
resources responsible from the cultural and the
business sector alike. However, this is not the
end... Meltingpro’s journey to explore and
investigate the potential of the digital storytelling
methodology through innovative based projects
continues! Thank you for being part of it and to
those who are interested please get in touch!

roots are to be found in history, culture, and
collective memory of Europeans, sometimes
leading to intolerance and prejudice.

many other remarkable authors, take stances in
the debate on the power of stereotypes and their
impact on nations.

How long is a piece of string?
Q&A about Cultural and Creative
Industries
Carnegie Mellon to become the first,
Exclusive Higher Education Partner of
the Tony Awards®
Carnegie Mellon University has been named by the
Tony Awards® as its first, exclusive higher
education partner.
As part of the collaboration, the two organisations
will jointly create and launch the first, national
recognition programme to honour kindergarten
through high-school (K-12) theatre educators.
"Throughout its history, Carnegie Mellon has been
home to many talented and inspirational faculty, so
we understand the important role teachers play in
transforming lives," said CMU President Subra
Suresh. "Behind every Tony winner is a teacher
who inspired and nurtured a young talent to grow,
to pursue big dreams and accomplish great things.
We are excited to bring those heroes into the Tony
spotlight."
Discussions on art, culture and business are often
complex, sometimes controversial and quite often
confusing. The concepts used are often unclear
and disputed. All too often, the discussions are
held simultaneously at different levels and are
consequently mixed together.
These pages are designed as a quick guide with a
focus on cultural businesses, a “Cultural
entrepreneurship for dummies” in Q&A form. They
range from general issues and questions of
priniciple to concrete questions that cultural
entrepreneurs and local and regional politicians
responsible for the development of culture and
business face every day. The aim is to relate these
to relevant and up-to-date research in this field,
where this exists, and to important policy
documents.
The lessons learned from this work have been
important in producing this guide. It can also be
regarded as an independent sequel to the
knowledge review Nätverkstan wrote in 2011 at the
request of the Region Västra Götaland: “Eagles
and anthills: What do we know about cultural
enterprises?”

-granting program in the United States and
celebrates its Centennial in 2014. In the past
century, CMU has produced hundreds of Tony
nominees and 31 Tony winners - eight winners in

All in all, the conference was rich with opportunities
for making connections, learning, and discussion.
Upon reflection, there were important fundamental
thematic “take-aways”. Among others, our field is
international. The location of this year’s
conference, along with some of the key
programming, left no room for speculation: arts
administration education is a discipline that by its
very nature is both local and international. Like
many industries, our marketplace has become
global — and it was eye-opening and exciting to
see it demonstrated so plainly at this year’s
conference. Cultural exchange and an awareness
of how our many models and traditions fit together
are critical areas of consideration for our
classrooms, our research, and our work.
"Why should I engage in this Lab if I am already on
Facebook?", you may ask. ECF understands your
question and here is the answer: ECF Labs is not
another Facebook. It is something quite different.
On ECF Labs, you share news, ideas and
resources in thematic spaces. What you share in a
Lab becomes part of a bigger context, a collective
conversation. We want to move the social media
focus from "me" to "us".

Particular importance will be given to matters
related to the common histories and geo-political
realities of Europe and the Mediterranean within the
spheres of international relations and cultural
diplomacy.
The First Annual Valletta 2018 International
Conference on Cultural Relations in Europe and the
Mediterranean aims to address aspects of
contemporary cultural relations in the
Mediterranean in the framework of Valletta as
European Capital of Culture (ECoC).
The variety of international speakers are invited to
reflect on how this project can contribute to a
dialogue and exchange of experiences in terms of
cultural experiences and expressions in the EuroMed area, also in light of the chequered history of
super-national initiatives such as the Union for the
Mediterranean and the Anna Lindh Foundation.
The conference will feature four panels each with
three speakers each. The speakers have been
asked to address aspects of Valletta related to its
European and Mediterranean vocation, and,
arguably, a road map. Their interventions will act as
a starting point for discussions to follow, and refer
participants to this particular point in time and
space when Valletta, and by extension Malta, may
have a particular role to play.

The first CHeriScape conference will set the scene
for the series by getting to the heart of the issue:
How can the idea of landscape as heritage begin to
‘make a difference’. Assisted by well-informed and
influential speakers from both landscape and
heritage fields, participants at this two-day
conference will be able to use the forum offered to
consider how landscape can be reflected in
heritage policy at European and national levels and
conversely, how can policy be made to reflect
landscape and heritage in mainstream areas of
social, economic and environmental policy.
The Valletta 2018 Foundation is launching a series
of annual international conferences addressing
different aspects related to cultural relations in
Europe and the Mediterranean, with the first
conference to be held on 4-5 September at the
University of Malta, Valletta Campus.

“Inform. Inspire. Innovate.”
Over the past two decades, a continuous dialogue
and fruitful convergence between art and design
related practices and research has been explored
in the academic institutions. Involved in the
contemporary discourse of practice-led research,
the Art of Research Conference 2014 brings out the
interactive and dynamic relationship between
experience, materiality and articulation. How are
different fields and media shaping these in novel
ways through various methods, tools, and skills?
How do research and practices operate from these
relationships? Through these questions the main
aim of the event is to engage in a shared
