Year-long development programme for arts organisations in the South West of England
Having delivered two ALITA programmes in the West Midlands, and one in London, we are delighted to be working again with Arts+ Media Training and new partner ArtsMatrix, to deliver ALITA in the South West of England. ALITA SW will be delivered from September 2008 for twelve months to arts organisations in the South West and invitations to apply are now launched for organisation to join this unique programme.
ALITA SW is designed to strengthen its participants’ organisational capacities, and to embed within them a practical commitment to the most important resources arts organisations possess: their people and their programmes.
Fees: The highly-subsidised programme fee is just £900 (inc.VAT) per organisation (remaining costs of £5000 per organisation are covered by generous investment from Arts Council England, SW).
For further information, contact Debbie Kingsley on debbie@tmpl-online.co.uk.
Applications can be downloaded from the ArtsMatrix website here.
Feedback on the first two ALITA programmes has been tremendously positive and we anticipate that, like ALITA3 in London, the programme will quickly ‘sell out’ in the South West. We’re keen for organisations, large and small, from across the region and across all art forms to be represented.
Deadline for applications: 25th July 2008.
“The value of ALITA2 has been understanding that organisational development is not an end in itself; it is about concentrating on delivering the art and creativity…It has made me more realistic about the things you can change…it has rekindled in me the joy of learning…I’ve read more, looked at other artforms and that has been fantastic” Derek Purnell, former CEO, Birmingham Royal Ballet
