ABSTRACT
The need for better management in contemporary culture is increasing due to movements in society, which inevitably impact the arts and consequently affect cultural institutions and organisations. Arts and cultural management is increasingly becoming associated with facilitating the mobility and development of society and of urbanisation at a global level. It enhances the development of democratisation in society and, as a result, cultural institutions have become much more open in a bid to keep pace with social changes and indeed take on an active role in relation to change. More widely, cultural management certainly transcends local or regional models, and in a continent-wide context, it is located, for example, at and beyond the European level. Funding is also one of the important issues bearing on cultural activity, and because of this entities such as the European Union provide for organised art and cultural management activities at the highest level.
