MUSC 330 - Arts Administration

Students will explore the organization and administrative workings of performing arts groups, including symphony orchestras, choral ensembles, chamber music ensembles, folk, jazz and rock bands, theaters, and festival programs such as Waterfire in Providence, RI, among others. Lectures, individual readings and guest presentations will focus primarily on the non-profit arts organization in the areas of publicity, marketing, fundraising, board relations and programming, as well as managing a concert series or festival, the recording industry, community music schools, the touring artist, and educational residencies. Outside presenters from various area arts organizations will share insight into outreach and programming opportunities and challenges created by race, gender and ethnicity in the current sociopolitical climate. Students will interact with local arts organizations and concentrate on a specific genre for their final projects.
