Today’s arts leaders must look at our world from multiple perspectives and scales. To transform our students into successful arts managers, arts administration educators can provide them with contemporary tools to manage their practice. Understanding the geography of cultural communities and how they relate to demographic, civic and urban development data is an essential tool for our students to engage with the larger issues facing arts administrators today. At the core, through presentation, discussion and interactive workshop, we desire to empower educators, students and arts leaders to utilize these tools to further their organizational missions; and to deepen their practice in understanding the current landscape of our field.
