Arts Administration: Utrecht, The Netherlands and Berlin, Germany
May 28 – June 18 2006 (NOT OFFERED DURING SUMMER 2007)

This international seminar offers graduate students, alumni of arts administration programs, and arts management professionals a unique opportunity to observe exciting changes in the visual and performing arts in a broad range of European venues. Students explore current cultural and social issues affecting international arts practices in both nonprofit and for-profit institutions. Working professionals gain fresh insights into managing arts organizations while acquiring an overview of European cultural policies. The program challenges students to compare and contrast American attitudes toward the arts (as embodied in U.S. public funding mechanisms and marketing and development strategies) with the long-established European tradition of government funding. Seminar participants have ample opportunity to discuss policymaking, planning, and entrepreneurial initiatives with leading arts professionals.

May 28 - June 7, 2006
The old university town of Utrecht, historically at the crossroads of art, philosophy, and architecture, serves as the base for exploration of international arts policy. The session in Utrecht includes classroom sessions and field trips to Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Otterlo.

June 8 - June 17, 2006
The intense pace of rebuilding both the city and its culture in the face of constantly shifting social and economic perceptions makes Berlin a unique place to investigate creative arts planning and entrepreneurial strategies.
