Arts and Cultural Organisations

Information professionals are highly valued within Arts and Cultural Organizations, as the core business of these institutions is to exhibit and present material that is engaging, entertaining, educational, and of course well-researched.

These organizations, such as galleries, museums, and theatres often deliver a broad range of programs to help support their activities, which may include tours, workshops, holiday programs, forums, presentations, and training courses. Those with a library background are well-placed to demonstrate how best to engage visitors with the material and help them learn new skills.

A great deal of research and consultation is undertaken when creating new exhibitions and performances, and again this is where librarians and information professionals can be essential; particularly if you have specialist knowledge in their field of interest.
