Cultural projects and events are a feature of vibrant and dynamic places. Arts and cultural events contribute to a range of artistic social economic and environmental outcomes.  As a result a growing number of arts organisations, government departments, community groups and commercial businesses are engaged in delivering arts and cultural events that respond to diverse communities, local cultural identities and distinctive locations. This unit develops students’ skills in designing, planning and delivering cultural festivals and arts events. It examines the use of a range of management processes, including: project management; operations and risk management; financial management; human resources; and strategic marketing.
