Arts Management Consultants

Henslowe Irving is a think-tank and arts management consultancy that explores best and new practices in arts organisational management.

As consultants, we work with arts organisations and venues to ensure they remain inspirational and sustainable. We review across governance, strategic & business planning, programming, communications, aesthetics and operations.

We understand that arts organisations are complex, specialist and frequently under-resourced. Our advice is practical, effective, and audience-focussed, based on our extensive experience in the field.

Our work as a think-tank focuses on venue best practice and the transformative socio-economic benefits healthy arts organisations bring to their communities. We work with partners as well as commissioning our own reports and studies.
