What’s ArtsManaged?
ArtsManaged Field Notes is a weekly newsletter by E. Andrew Taylor exploring professional practice in Arts Management. Every Tuesday morning brings fresh insight or inspiration on working better, smarter, and more compassionately in the business of arts and culture.
Field Notes is one of three online resources in the ArtsManaged initiative. The ArtsManaged Field Guide offers an evolving, connected, and free online textbook. The ArtsManaged YouTube Channel presents short videos on managing arts and culture.
The goal of the ArtsManaged initiative is to build and grow free and useful resources for arts professionals to advance their impact.
