The 10^th International Conference of Asian Arts Management

Manila, Philippines 2016

In the general understanding, the purpose of arts management is to effectively deliver works of art and musical performances to viewers and listeners in theatres, concert halls, art museums, and other cultural institutions. The objective of arts management is to link the producer and the consumer through the medium of an artwork or cultural event.

Western-style arts management is a technique of accurately distributes art products by and for the members of the bourgeoisie. It is premised on the existence of a market for the consumption of such art, which is frequently referred to as "high art". Arts management includes the establishment of facilities for the arts, such as art museums and concert halls, the development of a system of financial support for the arts, formulating arts and cultural policy while ascertaining the balance between supply and demand, and managing arts activities.

In this project, we offer to challenge the orthodox, the Western model of arts management, which caters on the management of institutions, and propose the possibility for a distinctly Asian model. We believe that we can conceive of a model of arts management, in practice and as an academic subject, which is more in line with the nature of community and society in the various regions of Asia.

In the socio-cultural context, Japan and Philippines share some common grounds. Economic conditions have necessitated the shift toward socially inclusive arts management. As a result of economic crises and large-scale natural disasters, economic disparities have widened and employment inequality and the exclusion of minorities have intensified. In this context, people have begun to focus on arts activities as a channel for connecting social excluded persons in society.
