Let’s Arty Hour!

Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association (HKAAA) has invited Ms Laura Bennegadi, the Founder and CEO of the [link_to|http://www.hkaaa.org.hk/doc/20909|ArtBound Initiative (ABI)], to talk about her experience as an arts administrator in New York City. Born and raised in Paris, Laura has extensive experience in theatre production, marketing and fundraising. After building a substantial network in performing and visual arts in USA and Europe, Laura launched ArtBound Initiative (ABI), an international internship program which provides access into the arts, an industry notoriously insular and difficult to penetrate. ABI connects students and recent graduates with artists and arts organizations in New York and Berlin.

During the Arty Hour, Laura will address the opportunities and strategies for students and young professionals to fast track their career in arts administration in USA and Europe.

‘Arty Hour@HKAAA’ is a causal occasion for thoughts to collide and wild ideas to flow. We would like to invite all fellow arts practitioners, students and anyone with an interest in arts & culture to join the gathering.

[tab|Highlight Recap]

“Arty Hour @ HKAAA – Starting a Career in Arts Administration in US and Europe” presented by Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association and was successfully held on January 19 at Boom Café.

We were glad to invite the Founder and CEO of the ArtBound Initiative (ABI), Ms Laura Bennegadi to share her experience to work in New York and Berlin. She explained that working experience will be regarded as more important attribute in the United States comparing to the academic result in school; In Europe, work experience is equally important to outstanding graduation results. However, art administrators do need to learn the specific languages to able to work in European countries as English is not the common language.

Laura explained that ArtBound Initiative was introduced to help art administrators to start their career in Europe and United States.

All participants enjoyed the cocktails, discussion and spent a pleasant evening together.
