2001 - 2004 The Asialink Centre, in partnership with the Kelola Foundation in Indonesia, will be running the Indonesia - Australia Arts Management Program over the next three years to provide significant experience and opportunities to Indonesian artists and arts managers by placing them with Australian arts organisations for periods of up to three months. The residents will be practising arts personnel and will be of great value to the Australian hosts in terms of cultural exchange and possible future collaborations. The areas that have been identified as having the greatest need are in management and infrastructure but the program will not be limited to arts administrators. It will also be open to Indonesian visual and performing artists, especially where the internship can be useful in the strengthening of their arts practice and organisation. The program, funded by The Ford Foundation in Jakarta, adds to Asialink’s overall vision of assisting Australian and Indonesian arts managers to extend their frames of reference, inspiration and opportunities through an exchange of skills, ideas and networks. The internships are part of an overall strategy for assisting the Indonesian arts community to develop infrastructure (e.g. co-operation mechanisms, touring, market and audience development). Other parts of the program include masterclasses and workshops run in Indonesia (involving Australian and Asian arts practitioners) and seed funding for returned interns to implement projects in Indonesia. Objectives
The third round of residencies
for 2003 - 2004 have been selected. We are currently selecting hosts
for these residents. Please contact us if your organization is interested
in hosting one of the following residents. Chendra E. Panatan is a recognised emerging contemporary choreographer. He is the Director of CE&Dancers and Tari Indonesia, Managing Director for Kreativitat Dance and Performing Arts Coordinator for Tunas Muda School in Jakarta. He would like to conduct a residency with a dance company to develop his skills in production management, marketing and audience development. Yudiaryani, is a lecturer at the Indonesian Art institute, and Artistic Director at Komunitas Teater Perempuan (Women Theatre Community) in Yogyakarta. She received her Masters degree from the University of New South Wales in Australia. The residency in Australia would enable her to improve her skills in the area of artistic and production management for women's theatre. Yudiaryani has demonstrated longterm involvement in women's theatre in Indonesia. Heru Hikayat, is a lecturer at the Indonesian Visual Art & Design College (STISI) Bandung. He is a writer and an independent curator who has curated a number of exhibitions. Hikayat would like to conduct a residency with an art institution to gain comparative models of public programs.

-2003
The first round of residencies for this program for 2001/2002 were:
Host Organisations A register of Australian arts organisations is being developed so that applicant profiles can be matched with organisation profiles. These profiles will outline hopes and expectations as well as what each party has to offer in terms of expertise and opportunity. The Indonesian candidates will be selected first and then matched with the organisations registered with Asialink. However, awareness of specific host organisations / opportunities in Australia may assist in determining some internship selections. Host organisations are not expected to contribute to the cost of the residency but we do ask that they help to administer some aspects of it. However, hosts are expected to provide a constructive working environment, support the resident’s experience and provide opportunities for interaction and networking. It is preferable to have a particular task or role for the resident that can focus their efforts. As a host to an international guest, there are also considerations of hospitality and welcome to consider, including having a central contact person, and assisting with finding suitable accommodation. Many organisations are not accustomed to hosting international guests, but Asialink will assist with advice and information wherever possible to make the experience mutually beneficial with increased future possibilities. The Indonesian Arts Management Program is funded by the Ford
Foundation, Jakarta and run in partnership with Kelola, Indonesia. Earlier Programs: The Ford Foundation in Jakarta funded Asialink to place three arts management interns from Indonesia with arts organisations in Australia during 1999 and 2000. Each internship was for approximately 4 months, with an extra three weeks available to explore and research other organisations. Participants: Mr Jusuf Sugito, Chief of the Secretariat of the Dewan Kesenian Jakarta, who worked with Carnivale Multicultural Arts Festival in Sydney. He also travelled to Melbourne and Adelaide to meet with various arts organizations and attend the National Art and Community Conference in Melbourne.(July - October 1999). Mr Rifky Effendy, curator at Galleripadi, Bandung, worked with the Visual Arts Department of the Adelaide International Festival, travelled to Canberra, Brisbane and New Zealand and was hosted by Art Space in Sydney. (March - June 2000) Ms Dhani Turner, Development Consultant, Gedung Kesenian Jakarta, worked with the Victorian Arts Centre and Gasworks Art Park from July - August, 2000. She visited Sydney in the first two weeks of September to meet organizations during the Olympic Arts Festival. (May - September 2000)
