Specialist Arts Organisations

This lists the organisations that exist to support a particular area of arts or arts management activity. Many are membership-based organisations and provide information, advice and guidance, organise events, conferences and training courses and may produce a magazine, reports and publications.
They are an immensely important part of the infra structure of arts management.
This list is presented alphabetically. It will, when complete, have live links to all the organisations' websites.

KSAM is still in the construction and consultation phase. We welcome suggestions for additions and alterations to the information presented.
