Dates: June 3-24, 2012
- Utrecht- June 3-13, 2012
- Berlin- June 13-24, 2012
Program Description:
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.
Academics:
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—even as that tradition now finds itself confronted by dwindling budgets and the need to appeal to a changing and more diverse constituency. Seminar participants have ample opportunity to discuss policymaking, planning, and entrepreneurial initiatives with leading arts professionals. Study topics and issues are broadly grouped under the following categories:
The European Union and Cultural Identity
- Cultural Diversity Strategies
- Globalism and Mobility
Cultural Policy and Advocacy
- Value of the Arts
- The Cultural Economy
- Cultural Diplomacy
Sustainability
- Audience
- Arts Education
- Creative Industries
- Collaborations and Partnerships
There are field trips to a variety of Dutch cities, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Otterlo, depending on availability of sites and speakers.
