Arts management doesn’t happen in a classroom, it happens where arts and audience meet.  You will visit arts organizations and managers locally, regionally, and internationally to broaden your perspective and examine what is influencing the day-to-day management of the arts.  Each visit allows students to witness the range of issues - including political, public, legal, financial, administrative, and others - at play in arts management contexts.  This critical engagement unpacks classroom instruction and bridges the gap from concept to reality.
