Invitation to recalibration
In this new year, consider a next chapter in your Arts Management story
“Watch your mind. Without training it might run away and leave your heart for the immense human feast set by the thieves of time.”
—Joy Harjo, from Girl Warrior: On Coming of Age (2025)
Just a short note at the start of a new year, with an invitation.
If you or someone you know is ready for a deep dive into Arts Management practice, for strategy-level insights and skills across the Ten Functions of Arts Management, and for a global learning community to make sense and take action in this essential moment for creative human expression, consider joining me and my colleagues in our master’s degree in Arts Management at American University.
Through intensive study, hands-on practice, and shared discovery with alumni and other brilliant professionals in arts and cultural management, we’re imagining what’s next for artists, arts ventures, and the creative communities they serve.
Our priority application deadline for Fall 2026 is February 1 (with rolling admission thereafter). All applicants for full-time study are considered for financial awards – including tuition credits and paid fellowships.
Lean in and skill up in 2026. Artistic expression and experience need you. And an amazing community awaits.
If you’re curious, contact me!
