Cone of Plausibility<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month I suggest three different topics areas to explore. The first focuses on Center for the Future of Museums (CFM) annual TrendsWatch 2018<\/em>. This year the CFM takes a different approach and uses four different scenarios to ponder what the years ahead could look like for museums. The content in the report could be used in conjunction with chapter 4, \u201cThe Adaptive Arts Organization,\u201d and chapter 5, \u201cPlanning in the Arts.\u201d You can enter into the \u201cCone of Plausibility\u201d and see where your scenario journey takes you. You can also explore other scenarios which may come out of the class discussions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Don\u2019t Spit on the\nDeck\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was an interesting article in The Guardian<\/a><\/em> in December\nabout a theater in London that got a little too far in front of some of its\nstakeholders with a change initiative. Three other artistic directors share their\ninsights about navigating the change processes in theatres in the UK. This story\nconnects to topics in the chapters on leadership, planning, and the role of\narts managers. The article poses good\nstarter questions such as, \u201cWhat happens when an organisation decides to make a fresh start, or change artistic direction? Is it possible to evolve and\nstill stay true to your past?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay Gaps in the\nCreative Industries<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are always interesting\npostings on the Arts\nProfessional<\/a> website in the UK, and recently\nthey covered the results of the government\u2019s ArtsPay\n2018 survey<\/a>. Not surprisingly, there was a gap between what men and women\nearn. The report highlights salary averages and medians and therefore, before\ndiving into a discussion, everyone should take a moment to review the plusses\nand minuses of each measure. After that, explore the salary graphs and tables which,\nby the way, use the Pound Sterling. It only takes a minute to connect to this\nlink for currency rates<\/a>\nto arrive at the equivalent for whatever\ncurrency you use. For example, the full-time median salary in the report\nfor a man was \u00a333,000 which would be around $42,000 (USD). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the currency conversion issue, it is helpful that\nthis salary data is available for jobs in the creative industries. In America, information about the compensation\nlevels for those employed in the arts is hard to find, or it is only available in costly propriety reports. If you are\ninterested, you can explore Glassdoor\u2019s<\/a>\nwebsite if you like, but you will probably be frustrated trying to find arts management\nand administration salaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best wishes and have a great January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Don’t\nspit on the deck!’ Arts bosses on how to hand over power<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Andrew Dickson| www.theguardian.com<\/a>\n| December 14th, 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a difference a\nname makes. Earlier this year the Tricycle theatre\nin north London announced that it would be rebranding itself as the Kiln when\nit opened after redevelopment. There were\npetitions calling for the theatre to revert to its former title;\nplacard-wielding protesters gathered on the street to demonstrate against the\nartistic director, Indhu Rubasingham. A letter to the Guardian decried the\nchange as throwing away \u201ca valuable legacy and history\u201d. Twisting the knife, two of the theatre\u2019s former heads, Nicolas\nKent and Ken Chubb, signed it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even by the self-dramatising standards of British theatre,\nthe controversy seems somewhat mystifying. There\u2019s barely a theatre in the\ncountry that hasn\u2019t changed its name at some point. No one was proposing the\nTricycle \u2013 or Kiln \u2013 be closed down, and indeed after a \u00a35.5m makeover it looks better than ever. This isn\u2019t even the first time the theatre has\ntaken on a new identity: it began life nearly five decades ago as the Wakefield\nTricycle Company.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender\ngap dominates latest arts pay figures<\/a> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lack of career progression among women in the cultural\nsector [in the UK] is the overwhelming contributor to the significant gender\npay gap revealed in initial findings from the 2018 ArtsPay survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gender pay gap in\nthe arts is showing no signs of abating, with women being only half as likely\nas men to reach senior roles by their mid-30s, and on average earning less than\nmen as their careers progress.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figures drawn from\nArtsProfessional’s 2018 online survey of pay and earnings reveal that on\naverage, women in full-time employment in the cultural sector earn 10.6% less\nthan men.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career progression\nappears to be the most significant contributor to this. While only one in six\nof those at an early stage of their career are men, at senior levels men take almost one in three of all roles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
