CONFERENCE THEME

The Future of Arts Administration Education:
Evolution, Reinvention, and Transformation

Arts administration education has existed as an academic discipline for almost 50 years. In that time, our field has defined and discovered the principles behind the business of the arts, and codified them in academic settings. The result has been nothing short of revolutionary–the formalization and maturation of an entire field of study and practice. As we begin to move out of our early years as a field, how can we expect arts administration and higher education to change? What seismic shifts will revolutionize our discipline? This year’s conference will examine the geopolitical shifts, business model evolutions, and reimagined educational experiences that are pointing us all toward the next iteration of arts administration education.
