Useful Stuff

People managing the arts need to be well connected - not just to books as sources of ideas, information and intelligence, but also to websites and organisations that exist to support our practice, and in related areas that we can learn from and share practice with.

Here you will find links to the many specialist organisations that support arts and arts management practice within an art form, or a specialist area such as arts and health, or support cpd (continuing professional development) in a region.

Do you know where to go to get the information that you need?

Have you found the professional magazines that support arts management practice? Are you signed up for the free Arts News service from Arts Council England? Do you know Arts Research Digest? Have you used the KSAM site? Do you keep an eye on training courses, events and publications from the Directory of Social Change? Do you use the information available on employment matters from ACAS?

This section aims to keep you well-connected. The information is shared between SAM's Books, KSAM - Knowledge Services for Arts Management, and All Ways Learning. See the KSAM site for more useful information on all the topics covered by SAM's Books main booklist, and see All Ways Learning's site for more on understanding learning, arts management explored, governance and boards, and organisations.

There is also information here about arts management as a career - because we found that there was so little out there about it.
