What is Arts Administration?
In short, Arts Administration is the business of supporting the arts. Whether it’s through marketing, ticket sales or fundraising, arts administrators provide the crucial infrastructure necessary to bring the arts to the public.Next time you’re at a show, think about all the work that goes into making the performance a reality. Without funding for venues, costumes and wages, marketing to build an audience and staff to make sure you have a seat, participating in the arts would be quite a challenge. In short, arts administrators help bring audiences and artists together.
History of the Program
In response to a growing need to broaden the career opportunities for
JCFA students, Butler established the Arts Administration program in
the late 1970s. Today, over 80 students study arts administration at
Butler. With internship opportunities across the country and alumni
working at some of the top cultural organizations in the nation, Butler
Arts Administration graduates are prepared to face the challenges of
bringing the arts to a new generation.
