Thank you to the many people who have been blog contributors to, and readers of ArtsBlog over the years. ArtsBlog has long been a space where we uplifted stories from the field that demonstrated how the arts strengthen our communities socially, educationally, and economically; where trends and issues and controversies were called out; and advocacy tools were provided to help you make the case for more arts funding and favorable arts policies.

As part of Americans for the Arts’ recent Strategic Realignment Process, we were asked to evaluate our storytelling communications platforms and evolve the way we share content. As a result, we launched the Designing Our Destiny portal to explore new ways of telling stories and sharing information, one that is consistent with our longtime practice of, “No numbers without a story, and no stories without a number.”

As we put our energy into developing this platform and reevaluate our communications strategies, we have put ArtsBlog on hold. That is, you can read past blog posts, but we are not posting new ones. You can look to the Designing Our Destiny portal and our news items feed on the Americans for the Arts website for stories you would have seen in ArtsBlog in the past.

ArtsBlog will remain online through this year as we determine the best way to archive this valuable resource and the knowledge you’ve shared here.

As ever, we are grateful for your participation in ArtsBlog and thank you for your work in advancing the arts. It is important, and you are important for doing it.

A Bibliography on Arts Administration

<P>Although this bibliography was originally devised for use of students in the program leading to the Master of Business Administration in the Arts at State University of New York at Binghamton, we believe it will prove useful to students elsewhere and to arts administrators already in the field.</P>
<P>The notations reflect the orientation of this program: that materials on sociological, historical and philosophical content are as essential for background as guidebooks on techniques and the application of skills. For example, we have included such subjects as commentaries on artistic creativity and interpretation, on criticism, and on the historical place of the arts in society. The listings on law, financial management, education, etc are grouped according to subject matter. We have not included articles within periodicals, as other bibliographies have already published such entries.</P>
<P>In this currently exploding field of interest, this list is by no means exhaustive but we have tried to include pertinent works appearing up to the time of publication. The headings are designed to facilitate reference; in many cases we have consciously cross-listed works so that they will appear in contexts most useful to the researcher. (p. i)</P>
