ARCM 560 - Leading Arts & Cultural Organi

Institution:

College of Charleston

Subject:

Arts and Cultural Management

Description:

The nonprofit, public, and private sectors have long supported the arts and humanities in the United States. Today's rapidly changing technological, demographic, economic, and political climate challenges the operation of cultural institutions and the production of culture. These complex issues demand that today's arts managers think critically and function effectively and collaboratively with limited resources in nonprofit environments. This course will focus on the role of nonprofit arts and cultural institutions, and the artists and managers that lead them. We will examine the rapid changes occurring in the performing and visual arts, as well as the humanities, and analyze the impact of these changes within the nonprofit and public domain. Specifically, we will address Leadership, management, and ethics; cultural policy; the arts in society and creative placemaking; and strategic planning and evaluation in a changing environment. The course also seeks to encourage interested students to pursue careers in this dynamic profession.
