Future Arts Centre

Game Overview

Future Arts Centre is an invitation to play with ideas and try out new solutions to long-term challenges.   

In this simulation, you are appointed as the CEO of a brand new interdisciplinary arts centre – a culture hub designed for tomorrow’s world. As you’re making strategic decisions and reacting to global and local events, which principles and values will guide your choices?  

 The game unfolds over 8 multi-year cycles to reveal your legacy as an arts & community leader. Will you manage to balance budget, people, politics, environment, artistic programming and many more dimensions to realize your vision?  What compromises are you ready to make to keep the board, staff, artists, local residents and volunteers satisfied? How will you be remembered: as a savior or as a failure?  

You can play solo or debate choices with peers to think through together what arts centres need today to thrive tomorrow.
