consultancy, analysis and advice on management in the arts. This includes
strategic planning and review, feasibility studies and project management.

many others, large and small.
We
like taking on challenging and interesting projects, working with great people,

WHAT
ARE WE UP TO NOW?
IN
2011... ABA
has produced, with Associates Insite Arts, the third and stunningly successful MONA FOMA (festival of music and art) in
Hobart, PLUS the nationally-acclaimed opening of the amazing Museum of Old and
New Art (MONA). 120 performances in ten days, rave reviews for Nick Cave, Philip
Glass and everything in-between. Stand by for MOFO 2012!

Three
weeks later, ABA produced Orchestra Victoria On The Waterfront, a large and
again hugely successful concert on the foreshore at Geelong for 6 thousand
people, with pre-show performances, a 65-piece orchestra on stage and on the big
screen. "Truly one of the best things I have experienced in Geelong"
enthused one audience member. "Such a spectacular evening of high quality
and so well organised. A magic night. Bravo! Encore!" wrote another.

ABA
has since completed a feasibility study for a new Festival of Australian Theatre
and is working on the development of a new Children's Theatre in Sydney and a
new Indigenous Festival, also in Sydney.. In the past year or so
ABA has worked with many of its Associates including Insite Arts, Arts Projects
Australia, Megafun, Sweet Reason and Brecknock Consulting. Other recent projects have been
delivered for Theatre Works, The Arts Centre, the Sydney Harbour Foreshore
Authority and the cities of Frankston, Moonee Valley, Dandenong and Port
Phillip.
