Designed for students and practitioners with little experience in not-for-profit management, Arts Management provides an indispensable guide to the theory and practice of managing arts and cultural organizations.

Description

Arts Management serves students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in the Introduction to Arts Management course. This edition combines both theory and practical approaches, and addresses major issues including incorporating new technology and research into management programs; new information on fundraising by using programs like Kickstarter; effectively using "futuring" exercises in organizational planning; and addressing issues of diversity and inclusion.

New to this Edition

  • Inclusion of the latest research findings and changes in technology that have led to innovations in marketing, fundraising, and program design
  • New case studies representing responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter

Features

  • Accessible presentation: written at a level and with a tone that is both engaging and approachable for beginning students
  • Thorough and comprehensive coverage: addresses all major issues necessary to prepare students for a career in Art Management, including topics like cultural sensitivity, challenges of a changing society, and community engagement that are not covered in many competition books

Reviews

"Arts Management covers the gambit of issues in arts management. It is beautifully researched and written; sophisticated but accessible." --William Krause, Hollins University

"This book is developmentally appropriate for today's undergraduate student, and is both accessible in that regard and inviting of further engagement. The book feels personal -- as though the author is speaking from the page -- as opposed to overly sterile or clinical. The book feels like a teacher teaching me as opposed to a product teaching me." --Jenny Fiebig, Fayetteville State University

"This text is a comprehensive look at arts management that will help anyone with a vision of a non-profit arts organization move towards a realized arts organization." --Kimberly K. Harding, Florida A&M University
