Because of technological advances and the deregulation of the propagation of ideas, the impact of business on the cultural aspects of the world has become increasingly more prominent. May 22, Adrian Ellis, the founder, owner and managing partner of AEA Consulting, will address such topics in a lecture entitled "The Impact of Globalization on the Cultural Sector."
Ellis will be speaking about matters involving the merging of the business and culture and how they work in conjunction. Even now, while student organizations have partnered with the LeBow College of Business and the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design (CoMAD) to present the lecture, they are an example of the unity of the two fields as it exists in the world outside university. The Arts & Business Council of Greater Philadelphia shows a similar unity in their focus of building the relationship between the two fields of the arts and business. By building this relationship, the Council attempts to promote economic growth while maintaining a rich culture. Simultaneously, the Council has a wider field of operations because it has engaged in activities with businesses located outside of Philadelphia and around the world- a trend that extends itself into almost every business.
The lecture will also cover the effects of the arts on the business world- for example, the necessity of business owners to implement newer and more creative solutions to already existing issues. The diversity of the arts will also help provide an outreach to non-traditional audiences as well as other necessary media outlets. With the spread of this artistic and aesthetic philosophy in the business world, it can be assumed that volunteerism and corporate support for the arts, especially in countries that have had the arts and culture subsidized heavily by government, will increase notably. With such increases, the lines between arts and business will begin to blur as an increased amount of cohesion between the two fields becomes more apparent: art becomes business and business becomes art.
These are only a few examples of the ideas that will be touched upon by the Ellis' lecture. The lecture will be held May 22, at 6 p.m. in the Bossone Auditorium and is free of charge.
