dirac Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 In a changing economic environment, Chinese arts organizations turn to the Kennedy Center and Michael Kaiser for advice. Article in the NY Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/18/arts/design/18chiart.html In a conference room at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the struggling new manager stood and asked a simple and pointed question of Michael M. Kaiser, the center's president: "How do you run a marketing department with no marketing budget?" A room full of her peers looked up eagerly for an answer.As China races toward a more market-driven economy, it is building new theaters, concert halls and museums nearly as fast as it is erecting Western-style shopping malls, hotels and business complexes. But the government is also decentralizing control of the arts industry, cutting the full subsidies long provided to companies and performers. Link to comment
