Try it
A simulation and a case study from this kind of work, set in a fictional regional arts centre that runs a gallery, a theatre and an annual community festival. They are fictional.
The kind of days you could have
Good days
- Opening night, when a show you took a chance on fills the theatre
- A local artist sees their work on a gallery wall for the first time
- A school group arrives for a workshop and the building feels full of noise and possibility
Hard days
- A grant application deadline lands the same week as the festival
- A performer cancels the day before, and you have a sold-out house
- Saying no to an artist whose work you admire because the money is not there
