Testimonials
-
Like many people I had more than a few things that I was passionate about and unfortunately, I couldn’t make a career out of all of them. I learned about the immense backdrop that frames the arts industry, made of administrators, managers and entrepreneurs of all stripes, and more than a few lawyers. The Arts Management Program allowed me to explore a new world of employment opportunities.
