Managing the arts? : The british experience / John Pick
Publication details: London : Rhinegold, 1986Description: 215 pSummary: This book has three main aims. First, to explain that the history of the arts in Britain is not the same thing as the history of state subsidy. Second, to demonstrate the system which involves the Arts Council in a once-admired role as the purveyor of subsidy to the arts has broken down, and that much in its present operation is divisive, narrowly political and over bureaucratised. Third, to indicate approaches which might be made to a policy for the arts but which are not simply a matter of reshuffling the pieces in the present game.
