This session will provide you with the skills to influence and build credibility inside and outside the gallery, as well as equipping you with practical tools and techniques for managing negotiations with key stakeholders.
The session will include an insight into critical influencing skills for gallery directors as detailed by Kelly Gellatly, the Ian Potter Museum of Art; hints to securing positive outcomes within a local government context with the Municipal Association of Victoria’s Francesca Valmorbida; and a look at partnership development in an independent arts organisation context as discussed by Next Wave’s Susannah Day.
Creative Victoria’s Jane Crawley will host a dynamic panel discussion, featuring knowledgeable panelists Neil Pharaoh, Judy Buchan, and Rebecca Coates, interrogating public galleries’ approaches to fostering positive relationships with government, funders and key stakeholders. Linden New Art’s Melinda Martin will then facilitate a discussion with participants about their negotiation and influence experiences and needs.
The session will conclude with a guided tour of the National Gallery of Victoria’s stunning exhibition, Baldessin/Whiteley: Parallel Visions with NGV’s Senior Curator of Australian Art, David Hurlston.
