Tammy Scott /加拿大藝術委員會傳播暨公眾參與處處長
講題: 加拿大藝術委員會的藝術銀行：先驅和再造
藝術銀行概念起源於加拿大，1972年加拿大藝術委員會(Canada Council for Arts)成立藝術銀行。過程經歷無數的考驗與變革，包含一次停止營業的危機。至今已歷43年，加拿大藝術銀行成功兼顧商業考量與藝術家的利益，自給自足，穩定成長。Tammy Scott女士是加拿大藝術委員會傳播暨公眾參與處處長，藝術銀行是其轄下單位，她對於透過藝術銀行的機制，如何達到藝術溝通以及強化民眾 參與的經營理念及執行經驗，非常豐富，值得借鏡。
Tammy Scott, Director General, Communications and Public Engagement, the Canada Council
The Canada Council Art Bank: Pioneer. Reinvented
The concept of art bank originated in Canada. It has been 43 years since the Art Bank was founded by the Canada Council for Arts in 1972, during which it went through numerous setbacks and reforms and was even nearly shut down once. Being self-sufficient and reporting to the Canada Council for the Arts, the Art Bank successfully strikes a balance between commercial and artists’ interests and grows steadily. Tammy Scott, Director General of Communications and Public Engagement of the Canada Council for the Arts, has extensive knowledge of how to strengthen communication and public participation through the Art Bank. Her wealth of practical experience is well worth learning.
Tony Stephens/澳洲藝術銀行執行長
講題: 藝術銀行和分享經濟
澳洲藝術銀行現隸屬於環境水利、文化資產暨藝術部，1980年成立迄今已屆35年。成立之初汲取加拿大的經驗，並因應國家環境條件，建立營運方針和目標，到1992年已能自給自足，且成為澳洲當代藝術的指標性機構。現任執行長Tony Stephens 於2012年上任，其對經濟環境的敏銳度促使他積極跨足不同產業，用藝術關照各種社群，在品牌形象及行銷推廣方面有極為亮眼的作為。他獨特的商業觀點及行銷操作經驗，應能讓聽眾獲益良多。
Tony Stephens, Director of Artbank Australia
Artbank and Sharing Economy
Artbank is part of the Australian Government's Department of Environment, Heritage, Water and the Arts, and it has been 35 years since its establishment in 1980. It learned from Canadian experience when it was first founded and established an operational guideline and objective after factoring in its national environment. It became self-sufficient in 1992 and has been a landmark institute for Australian contemporary art. Tony Stephens, the incumbent director, took office in 2012. His economic acumen urges him to work across different industries and care for different communities through art. He has done an outstanding job in branding, marketing, and promotion. The audience shall without doubt benefit a great deal from his unique take on business and hands-on experience in marketing.
張正霖/前任臺灣藝術銀行主持人
臺灣藝術生態中的新行動者-藝術銀行
臺灣文化部自2013年起推動「藝術銀行」計畫，交由國立臺灣美術館辦理相關業務。參考加拿大、澳洲及韓國案例，審酌臺灣藝術產業環境、法令規定等等，制定完整的作品購入、管理及出租的機制。2年時間，租賃成績甚受肯定，民間承租比例已超過政府機關。顯見藝術銀行租賃模式已逐漸在臺灣藝術市場形成另一種新勢力。國立臺灣美術館研究員張正霖博士擔任臺灣藝術銀行計畫主持人，他具豐富的藝術管理經驗，熟悉臺灣藝術生態、產業環境，對於臺灣藝術銀行的推動有深度的見解和觀察。
Nicholas Chang, Ex-curator of Taiwan Artbank
New Actor in Taiwan Art Ecology: Art Bank
The Art Bank project was launched by the Ministry of Culture in 2013 and executed by National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. This project referred to Canadian, Australian, and Korean experience, reviewed Taiwan’s art industry and regulations, and built a comprehensive mechanism of introduction, management, and lease of artworks. Its successful leasing program in the past two years has been acknowledged, and more artworks have been leased to the private sector than to the public sector, which shows the leasing modal of art bank has become a new force in Taiwan’s art market. Dr. Cheng-lin Chang, research fellow at National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, is the project director of “Art Bank, Taiwan.” Skilled in art management and familiar with the art environment and industry in Taiwan, Dr. Chang has a real insight into the promotion of Art Bank in Taiwan.
