Germany and France: Visual and Performing Arts Administration

This program is closed and is no longer accepting applications. Visit our Graduate Study Abroad page to learn about our available study abroad opportunities for graduate students. If you have any questions, please send them to steinhardt.global@nyu.edu.

This course offers both current graduate students and arts administration practitioners an intensive experience in learning about cultural policies and arts management practices in at least two European countries. The Arts Administration study abroad program is comprised of a series of lectures, site visits, case studies, discussion sessions, and presentations related to both visual and performing arts venues. Students examine a combination of policy and practice, meet with arts administrators and policy makers, and present case study analyses on the basis of their lectures and on-site visits. Issues change from year to year as cultural policies develop and are implemented at state and municipal levels in different countries.
