UMass Amherst
The courses in the Arts Management Certificate introduces students to the "business of the arts", provides an overview of the varied careers that arts managers enjoy, introduces current issues and trends affecting arts management professionals, and teaches important skills including budgeting, arts marketing, planning, audience and partnership development, and much more. The courses also help students build their arts management portfolio demonstrating completion of semester-long intensive projects such as a 3-Year Fundraising plan for an actual nonprofit arts organization. They integrate the professional experience of leaders in the field through in-class presentations and invite experts including artists/arts managers working on Creative Placemaking, Art for Social Change, or Audience Development projects to join us for week-long online discussions.
