Arts Advocacy

Catalog description

Becoming an advocate for the arts is more than just learning how to write grants. A successful advocate must learn to take advantage of and interpret many types of resources on the local, state, and federal level. Subjects will include: procuring materials and resources; public policy and how it affects live performance; venue-related rules and regulations; coalition building, and researching and utilizing existing arts advocacy entities. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to navigate the many hurdles of creating site-specifi c work and serve as advocates for other arts organizations.
