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. This concise text engages readers with case studies and critical-thinking exercises that will develop their ability to adapt to a changing industry. From governance and human resources to program development, financial management, and marketing, Arts Management addresses the unique atmosphere of managing the arts today. It meets the standards of the AAAE (Association of Arts Administration Educators) guaranteeing that both current and future practitioners will be prepared to meet the challenges of managing today's arts organizations.
This book is the ultimate overview of running an arts non-for-profit in the 21st century. The book does a great job of covering lots of areas that are relevant for any board member or c-suite level position in an arts organization.
Deserves 4.5 stars due to the general typos in the text, but the content is great. Learned a lot about nonprofit organizations and, more specifically, arts organizations. One of my favorite textbook reads for a class ever.
