This class will focus on how the elements of arts management--strategic planning, human resource development, fundraising, finance, marketing and audience engagement--interrelate and intersect with organizational structure, lifecycle stage, and governance. Management and governance issues that have emerged as critical challenges in the 21st Century will be interrogated, and case studies will be examined to reinforce theories and concepts. Special attention will be given to the changing environment for arts organizations and, in particular, the ways in which they are addressing issues of diversity, inclusion, and equity as well as their increased social/civic responsibilities.
