ARM 1000Introduction to Arts Management3
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the business of the arts. We will examine the administrative aspects of arts organizations in order to understand how they are structured, and how they operate - that is, what makes cultural institutions run. There are many things that have to happen on the administrative side of the business in order for an artistic production to make it to the stage. We will examine the different types of arts organizations, their purpose and mission, how they are structured and managed, where the money comes from, and how we actually get audiences to come and see our produtions. We will also look at the human and financial systems that support the operation.
