This course is designed to provide experienced and new arts managers with the background and basic skills for success in managing everything from a theatre company, musical group, dance troupe, to a gallery or literary society. Whether you are managing an existing organization, or starting your own non-profit, participants will learn about the history of the field, the basics of program planning, budgeting, fundraising and grant writing, arts advocacy, working with artists, working with boards, laws and public policies that govern the arts, as well as the many other skills needed for success in the field.
