INDS B.A.: Arts Management
Spring 2023 Capstone
My INDS Degree
The focus of my degree plan is to understand how to strengthen the relationship between art venues, performing artists, and audiences. To succeed in this focus, I intend to concentrate on “art production and creation”, “management and entrepreneurship”, and “societal awareness”. With this degree I intend to work at an art venue as a leader and connection between artists and executives to create a cohesive vision for the audiences in the community.
Post Graduation Plans
With my past experiences in stage managing, my immediate post-graduation plans include gaining experience working and volunteering at local theatres and other art venues. This could include stage managing and working in the office with the artistic director and operations manager. After gaining more practical skills in an arts organization, my path to success could include jobs as a director, a house manager, a production manager, and an operations manager.
