CultureLab's Emerging Practice Seminar: Content Now Online

Culturelab is a joint initiative of leading arts consultants and the Cultural Policy Center at the University of Chicago, a nationally recognized interdisciplinary research center dedicated to informing policies that affect the arts, humanities, and cultural heritage. On April 29, Culturelab staged the Emerging Practice Seminar 2011, billed as a concerted effort to bring forward promising new practices in the cultural sector and transmit them to the field. This year’s program focused on 1) uses of technology in audience engagement, and 2) venue management and dynamic pricing. The discussion of each topic featured several case studies drawn from arts organizations, from Chicago to Sydney. A lunchtime session included a debate on the role of mobile devices in theaters and museums, featuring Martha Lavey, artistic director of Steppenwolf Theatre Company, and Alan Brown, Principal at WolfBrown.
