Arts Management Overview
I’ve always wanted to be involved in art. If I’m not making it myself, I want to help others to get their works into the public eye and get the attention it deserves. To me, the arts management major blends the essentials of both business and arts. You get to pick the concentration that fits you best, hone your skills in it, while also learning how you can make it into a living.
