Occasion
With this lecture and debate, the Boekman Foundation and European Cultural Foundation will launch their recent publication Arts management in turbulent times, by Milena Dragićević Šešić and Sanjin Dragojević.

The publication is based on the broad expertise and experience its two authors have gained in many years of arts management training in South East Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus and other countries in and around Europe.

Being prominent figures of arts management theory at their home universities in Belgrade and Zagreb, Milena Dragićević Šešić and Sanjin Dragojević have pooled their academic expertise with their long standing practice of bringing arts organisations in turbulent environments on the road to organisational stability and operational success.

The book draws together contemporary Western- and Eastern European approaches to arts management. It also highlights the various practice-based management tools and first-ever adaptations of existing theory along with the hands-on solutions developed for arts managers working internationally and in turbulent contexts.
