Running and managing arts events

The articles below are roughly divided up by subject, to cover a range of different events. You may wish to briefly scan them all, to ensure comprehensive advice for the organisation of an arts event.

You also need to be aware that licenses and insurance will be required for your event including collecting money for charity; selling food or produce; live music or performances; road closures; and street signage. Most of these licenses can be covered by one phone call to the Environmental Health Department of your District Council.
