This year’s Academy seemed to be very popular as 37 cultural organizations across fields and types participated in the selection procedure. The Arts and Theatre Institute committee (Pavla Petrová, Eva Žáková, Magdalena Müllerová, Ondřej Svoboda, Táňa Švehlová and Irena Swiecicki) paid regard to several points of view: diverse representation of fields, the extensive geographical coverage, even distribution of organizations according to the type and size, but primarily motivation and selection of the participants. In addition, the new team of the music export agency Sound Czech (ATI project) will take part in this year’s Academy as well.
The following cultural organizations have been selected to participate in the Arts Institute Academy for cultural managers in 2018:
- BuranTeatr
