Located in the heart of New York City, this is a leadership program for activists, educators and managers in the arts.? It is designed to be both partner and supporter of the city's museums, theaters, galleries and concert halls, and to prepare students for leadership in a range of public, private, and non-profit arts institutions. ?
?Students? work includes:
- A core curriculum focused on leadership and management in public, non-profit and commercial arts organizations.? Students meet with a wide range of artists, arts professionals, and civic leaders, and they develop competence in finance, resource development, marketing, entertainment law, arts education and outreach, public policy, and advocacy.
- Electives that encourage students to deepen their knowledge in particular fields: among them, theatre, orchestra, and museum management; artist representation; and arts education.?
- Internships that offer significant responsibilities and engaged mentors.
- A consultancy in the final semester with an arts organization, leading to a thesis or case study published online for use by future students and by practitioners in the field.
We serve part- and full-time students.? Some have substantial experience in cultural institutions; others are recent college graduates; and still others are individuals contemplating career changes.? We welcome applications from international students with demonstrated competence in English.
