Sydney Arts Management Advisory Group IncorporatedRegistered

Sydney Arts Management Advisory Group (SAMAG) is a notforprofit organisation which was formed by a number of arts professionals in the early 1990s to provide a forum to: Create awareness, sensitivity, knowledge and skills required of Directors and Managers of arts organisations through the presentation of seminars by arts and business people. Ensure the seminar topics cover a broad range, including metropolitan and regional issues and areas of interest. Create a forum where arts practitioners and managers can meet, share information and network. Our aim is to provide a forum for discussion and to raise awareness of current arts issues. At the same time, SAMAG provides professional development for arts managers to improve their knowledge and skills. This is achieved through the presentation of monthly seminars, a yearlong program that address topics and issues of interest to arts and cultural workers, largely provided on a voluntary basis. During the year the association continued to provide relevant and informative seminars to its members and the Arts Community in Sydney and the suburbs, some in collaboration with other Arts organisations.
