Art Management

In the 21st century, there is an enormous need worldwide for a basic knowledge of management in the cultural sector. Art Management Entrepreneurial Style provides this fundament; it is the result of more than 15 years of experience at the Utrecht School of the Arts. This knowledge fills the existing gap between general management theory and cultural praxis. It helps students, teachers, artists and practical art managers in translating management theory into successful cultural organizations.
