Intellectual Property And The 11th Festival Of Pacific Arts Solomon Islands PDF Download

"As host of the 11th Festival of Pacific Arts, Solomon Islands is in a unique position relative to the hosts of previous festivals. It has a longer lead-time for preparation, and a commitment of support from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), as signified by the publication of this report well in advance of the event. The National Festival Organising Committee (NFOC) - like the committee or taskforce that oversaw each previous festival - will play an advisory role in assisting departments, technical, programming and administrative sections and committees across a number of events. As well as allowing thorough planning for this event, the longer timeframe and strong commitment of those involved open up the opportunity to develop templates and models for future festivals. Training and working with established key arts groups across the Pacific will give Pacific Islanders themselves greater control of the event in future years. Good communication and reporting will establish a continuous structure for the festival and its management so that each new host nation need not 'reinvent the wheel' every four years. This report identifies key requirements for creating a sustainable 11th Festival of Pacific Arts that showcases the diversity and excellence of indigenous arts and culture through a unique voice. In particular, a priority is to carefully consider and make prompt decisions regarding global, environmental, budget and programming policies"--Publisher website.
