93-863 Arts Management Consulting
3 units, Carnegie Mellon University
Course meets: Saturday, August 29 and Saturday, September 12 | Noon - 4:30pm; On Campus, HBH 1007; Building on the fundamentals students have learned across the other first-year Master of Arts Management coursework, this course will provide an introductory survey to the field of consulting for arts and cultural organizations. Students will explore the core differences between more general, for-profit business consulting and the more nuanced, inter-personal reality that the arts consultant must navigate. We will explore the areas of arts management that are most typically addressed by consulting work, as well as the more complex nature of arts management consulting, which often tackles more integrated challenges due to the limited capacity of many cultural organizations. Students will leave this seminar better prepared to assess whether any organization and consultant are a strong fit for partnership, what makes a strong arts consulting proposal, and how consulting fits into the larger arts management ecosystem.
