...Release of Report on Art Industry in India: Policy Recommendations April 2, 2010 Kolkata REPORT The visual art sector in India has grown exponentially in the recent years with both appreciation and market for Indian art expanding domestically and beyond the national borders. Nevertheless, it has also brought to fore the myriad of challenges that the art ecosystem in India is faced with. Be it for addressing the regulatory issues pertaining to art, beefing up the art education infrastructure, changing the way artworks are looked upon from ‘Instruments of wealth creation’ to ‘Intellectual Property’, a need is strongly felt for developing a holistic policy approach towards the sector as also for better enforcement of the existing policy instruments. It is against this backdrop, FICCI in association with Amarchand Mangaldas and Deloitte has prepared a first-of-its-kind report on ‘Art Industry in India: Policy Recommendations’. The Report makes an attempt to assess the existing legislative and taxation regimes pertaining to visual arts in India, identify the issues and challenges facing the art economy and outlines a roadmap for aligning our policies with the global best practices. “With exponential growth in the volume of art trade in India, what is needed is a broad framework for this sector.” said Mr. Jawhar Sircar, Secretary, Ministry of Culture, Government of India, while releasing the Report at an Interactive Seminar organized by FICCI in Kolkata on April 2, 2010.

...On a Strategic Vision Name Institution Case Questions 1. SWOT analysis SWOT analysis is a business tool that helps a corporation of any size to assess its viability. The tool helps to identify major pros and cons in the industry of choice. The SWOT analysis assesses strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and weaknesses for the business. The tool is a great tactic that can be used to identify the state of a market or industry at any point in time. For this case, the company that is given consideration is Electronic Arts. The company was established in 1982 under the operating name Amazin’ software. The company changed the name to Electronic Arts and continued to develop games and sell games. In the decade between 1980 and 1990 the company enjoyed major success in the gaming industry. At the end of 1989, the company had become a publicly traded company. The revenues of the company increased from an average one hundred and thirteen million dollars to two hundred and ninety eight million dollars within two years from 1991. The success continued until 2006, when they were knocked off the number one spot by a rival named Activision. The SWOT analysis is a tool that could have been used to help Electronic Arts to strengthen their position in the gaming industry.

...Subsidizing the Arts There is always much debate when it comes to government intervention in every aspect of a nation. The “less is more” versus the “more is necessary” views oppose one another leading to no end. When it comes to opinions of government subsidizing the art, each side has its weaknesses intertwined with their valid points causing many to be on the fences neither agreeing nor disagreeing that there is an issue with government subsidizing the arts. In Arts Funding: A New Approach, David Rawcliffe explains that government subsidizing would be necessary because the art market is subject to market failure. He explains that an accomplished arts industry creates national pride, leaves a legacy for future generations, contributes to education, encourages tourism, and that artistic innovation benefits other artists which isn’t protected by intellectual property laws (Rawcliffe). This means that an effective art industry has positive long term effects on a nation’s economy and society as a whole. Government subsidy also makes it possible for all to gain the benefits of art especially the lower income individuals that would normally be able to afford to attend art events (Rawcliffe). Another reason that the government should subsidize art is because generally the public wants them to as shown by a survey commissioned by the Scottish Arts Council. The survey found that 82% of the Scottish public believe that central government is responsible for the support of art and culture...

...Executive Summary This report explores the relationship between the art industry and the internet, as well as examining the way in which the internet has changed the way the art industry operates. A critical analysis and comparison of the e-marketing mix strategies of Etsy and DeviantART was also made. The research draws attention to the shift from an industry with a high barrier to entry which used traditional forms of discovering, exhibiting and selling artworks, for example, art galleries, to an industry with a lower barrier to entry, changed by online platforms that allowed a greater number of artists and artworks to enter the market and created new ways in which both artists could sell their works and buyers could buy those works. The analysis of the e-marketing mix strategies of Etsy and DeviantArt found that Etsy and DeviantART catered to their consumers’ needs by the development of a marketplace and social networking platform, respectively. The analysis of their pricing strategies found that Etsy and DeviantART both utilized elements of fixed pricing and personalized pricing, but only Etsy using dynamic segmented pricing. The distribution strategies of Etsy and DeviantART did not include the use of intermediaries and products were sold directly to the consumers through websites and mobile technology. The communication strategies of Etsy and DeviantART were strong with a focus on the building of communities through owned, paid and earned media. ...

...self-sustaining industry and Aboriginal people were and would continue to be the marginal minority living on government stipends. Later, as the state policies regarding Aboriginal issues changed from “assimilation” to “self-determination” and social activists like Geoffrey Bardon and Peter Fannin started to promote Aboriginal arts and crafts, the sign meaning of Aboriginal arts gradually transformed. Aboriginal collectives such as Papunya Tula also spread arts and crafts to the mainstream (white) society. Artworks produced in one place were sold in another region and various exhibitions were held in white-dominated places like Melbourne and even outside Australia, in Europe or United States. The aesthetic dimension was increasingly valued. And later, as the associations such as the Aboriginal Arts Board and the Aboriginal Arts and Crafts Pty.ltd became the main buyers of the Aboriginal arts and crafts, the Aboriginal arts and crafts market gradually matured. Aboriginal arts and crafts transformed into high-art commodities that gained popularity among Western art collectors (Myers, 2002). This indexicality, however, was largely constructed by outsiders. The original religious implications of Aboriginal arts and crafts were largely overlooked as Aboriginal arts and crafts were subsumed into the international high art market. Thus the “Aboriginality” sign transformed into a sign of “art” in the eye of...

These four groups comprise the auction sector of the tobacco industry and interact in unapparent web of complex and important relationships. Auctioneers are the most important player in the...

...Grants Fund Application from Toronto Arts Council The Toronto Arts Council has applied to a new fund, the Ford City Grants Fund, which was created for granting funding to non-profit organizations. Successful bidders will receive up to a $50,000 grant to offset costs from their operations and expenditures. This report serves to critically evaluate the Toronto Arts Council and determine whether it is worthy of receiving funding from the new Ford City Grants Fund. It will begin by providing a brief overview of the Toronto Arts Council and its activities, followed by evaluating how the Toronto Arts Council impacts Toronto's society and the need for the organization’s services. Lastly, the memo will conclude by deciding whether to grant the Ford City Grants Fund to the organization. This report is important as the Ford City Grants Fund has limited funds available and up to $50,000 may be granted to the organization, which is a hefty sum considering that money is tight. Furthermore, many organizations are applying for grants due to recent cuts in funding. It is therefore important that only the organizations most deserving of the grant should receive it. A. Overview of Toronto Arts Council 1. Background The Toronto Arts Council is mainly a volunteer-run organization with a small group of professional full-time staff. It's primary goal is to support the development, accessibility and excellence of the arts in Toronto. The Toronto Arts Council's activities consists of reviewing...
