Leadership and Management in the Arts

About this book

Creative ideas need clear planning and coordinated effort to become successful productions. Leadership and Management in the Arts introduces the leadership and management practices that help artistic teams turn shared intentions into organized action.

Learners connect planning, staffing, communication, budgeting, and resource allocation with the demands of actual productions and events. The book examines how audience needs, facilities, schedules, funding, and other conditions influence decisions. Developing, implementing, and evaluating a production plan builds understanding of both creative collaboration and the responsibilities of arts administration.
