Description:

In order to respond to the challenges and responsibilities facing the arts, an arts manager must have an amalgam of managerial and financial skills, an investment in ethical and policy issues, a broad knowledge about artistic disciplines, an awareness of community dynamics, a commitment to education and a sensitivity to the artist and the artistic process. But how does this translate professionally? This alumni panel will explore various paths taken and the skills employed for a successful career as an Arts Administrator.

web14_audrev_convene_pmailThis year, Theater Communications Groupwith support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, held its second Audience (R)Evolution Convening, part of a multi-year program designed to study, promote and support successful audience engagement and community development models across the country. The program seeks to define the full spectrum of audience engagement and community development, in addition to sharing working models from the field and beyond.

Hannah Fenlon served as the project manager for the convening, in addition to being a second-year ARAD student. This year, TCG expanded on the Audience (R)Evolution program’s mission by encouraging peer learnings and opportunities for the exchange of ideas and lessons learned, serving as a vehicle for theatre-makers to identify and connect with partners at other organizations with whom they might develop new strategies and models for audience engagement. Click here to read more about the Audience (R)Evolution program.
