"Neither Public nor Private:
The Challenge of Hybrid Organizational Forms"
J. Mark Schuster
Visiting Professor of Cultural Policy
University of Chicago (on leave from MIT)
Recent trends in arts administration and in cultural
policy more generally have evidenced a tendency to combine
privateness and publicness together in the same organization.
This hybridization is occurring at the level of the individual
organization as well as at the level of arts funding agencies.
What are the challenges to arts administration? This noted
researcher and author on cultural policy will explore
the issues and their implications. |

"Balancing Act: Launching a New Arts Complex"
Susie Farr
Executive Director
Clarice
Smith Performing Arts Center, Maryland
With striking similarities to Madison's Overture Project,
the new 318,000-square-foot 'arts village' on the University
of Maryland College Park campus celebrated its dedication
in September 2001. Noted arts leader Susie Farr, former
Executive Director of the Association of Performing Arts
Presenters, draws on her industry perspective and her
direct experience to explore the juggling required to
launch a new cultural facility. |
Today's
arts leaders wear many hats. As business people, they leverage
the tools of the marketplace to sell tickets, build solvency,
and respond to their customers' expectations. As leaders of
nonprofit institutions, they often work against those very
same forces to ensure broad access, foster artistic excellence,
and bring a non-commercial voice to the communities they serve.
Sometimes
with synergy, sometimes with stasis, these dual roles define
the everyday life of the arts administrator.
The Bolz
Center for Arts Administration's 2001 lecture series addresses
this balancing act with two recognized leaders in the field.
Join us for a new perspective on a growing challenge for the
arts, and a topic directly related to Madison's Overture Project
arts district development. Both lectures are open to the public,
contact the Bolz Center office for additional information.
