Reviews for Introduction to Arts Management

Introduction to Arts Management begins in the right place - with the arts manager and an emphasis on the need to take control of her life ... The focus on collaboration is apparent in the organization of his book. Many of the guidelines, tips, and how-tos are presented in list form under descriptive sub-headings. It is the kind of book conducive to sharing with others to discuss its insights and helpful hints ... It's a book to keep on your desk for quick reference during a planning session or to quote from at a board meeting before it has a chance to fall apart ... The book is recommended for emerging arts leaders (graduate and undergraduate), and for individuals already working in the field but who lack formal training. * ArtsManagement.net *
