The Arts Management Handbook ─ New Directions for Students and Practitioners

Written for persons seeking or having careers in the Arts, this guide serves as a "how-to" for managers and artists in all art forms, (i.e. theater, dance, music, visual, etc.) to facilitate promotion and exposure. Examples are presented in case studies that show obstacles faced and solutions to overcome them. The editors drew from a pool of academics and practitioners to provide a balance between established theoretical constructs and practical application toward ever-changing trends. Topics covered include managing theater and festival events, careers and education in Art Management, and a section on fund-raising and grant-writing.
