"This fascinating book provides a vital bridge between both arts management and cultural policy, and between academics, artists, practitioners and policymakers. With conversations spanning the globe, and addressing a range of vital contemporary issues, Cultural Leadership in Practice is an essential addition to the field and should be read by anyone interested in how cultural leadership works in the real world." Ben Walmsley, University of Leeds, UK "This excellent collection is important because it reflects the voices of practitioners from the field. It includes different artforms and cultural sectors, as well as practitioners in different nations, so its breadth is extensive. It is a timely collection therefore that every student of arts and cultural leadership should acquire." Jo Caust, University of Melbourne, Australia"This book offers a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of cultural leadership [for] students ... policymakers [and] cultural practitioners."
