ArtsCrew & The Future of Arts Work

Catalog description

Introduce students to the principles, techniques, and skills essential to becoming an effective member of the professional arts workforce and to ArtsCrew, an innovative employment service in development here at Brown which will offer access to workforce development opportunities and paid on-campus and community-based project work in a variety of artistic disciplines. Students will be engaged in researching cultural worker employment models, as well as shaping, regularly assessing, and improving the student component of ArtsCrew. In addition to class time, each student will be assigned to an appropriate artistic project on campus across the course of the semester. A total of 180 logged hours, including class time, research assignments, and project work, will be required to pass the class and to enter ArtsCrew as a member eligible for paid work.
