Deadline: February 1,
2017
Business and Arts South Africa (BASA) opens a call to recruit
30 organisations for the BASA Established Education programme, supported by
Rand Merchant Bank (RMB). The arts, culture and creative sector organisations
based geographically in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban are required to be
registered or in operation for at least three years to be eligible for the
programme.
“Our BASA Established Education programme aims to help
elevate practising arts, culture and creative organisations with renewed vision
and strategic business thinking,” explains Kim Sanssoucie, Programme Manager
for BASA’s Creative Management. “The programme is based around the model of
Asset Based Organisational thinking and practical insights from arts and
creative leaders in all three cities.”
The BASA Established Education programme, supported by RMB,
is an intensive transformative learning programme comprising several different
workshops. Some of the workshops are Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) –
which talks to creative and organisational community development to Creative
Market Growth action plans and strategies to structuring your creative
organisation financially and operationally for sustainable outputs. Workshops
are facilitated by specialist business professionals in the field being
explored.
The highlight of the workshops is the inclusion of arts,
culture and creative facilitators drawn from South Africa’s extensive arts and
creative sectors. These arts, culture and creative facilitators will offer
their invaluable insights and expertise to workshop participants complimenting
the business skill transfer.
The BASA Established Education programme, supported by RMB,
is part of a broader BASA Education initiative which aims to address the
strategic thrust of development and support of the arts, culture and creative
sectors by driving connectivity and sustainability through research as well as
skills transfer.
The first cycle of workshops will begin in March – May 2017.
Please note only candidates from Cape Town and Johannesburg need apply, as
Durban workshops have been completed for this cycle. Applications for Cycle 2
will begin later in the year so please keep a look out on the BASA website for
those dates.
