Journal mission

The field of cultural policy and management is not limited by type of institution or genre, but is defined by activity and interest.  In the context of this journal, culture is taken to include the visual and performing arts, museums, historic environment and creative industries; policy and management encompass organisations’ administrative systems and the operations of international governing bodies; criticism and research cover everything from cultural studies to applied research; from the pragmatic to the theoretical.
 
The journal seeks to avoid the pitfalls of advocacy and to critically interrogate cultural policies, procedures and protocols. Geographical boundaries are open; methodological approaches may be informed by cultural and management theory, or the social sciences; subject matter could include arts marketing, audience research, cultural policy, cultural management and governance, curatorship, education, economics, impact studies and arts criticism.
