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.

Administration in the Arts: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected References

<P>Published by University of Wisconsin, Graduate School of Business, Center for Arts Administration. In the fourth edition of this bibliography we have attempted to arrange and classify the literature in the manner which is meaningful and useful to both the potential and practicing arts administrator.</P>
<P>The bibliography is arranged in four basic sections: management in the arts, financial management, marketing the arts in society. The first section of this bibliography includes references which pertain to the staff of the organization, boards of directors, administrative functions, legal aspects and labor relations. The second section provides references to financial management in the areas of fund-raising and grantsmanship, sources of financial support, budgeting, taxes and investment policy. Marketing the arts is the focus of the third section. Often marketing is referred to as audience development in the field of the arts. There are fewer direct references to audience development, however, there is valuable information in the business administration field under the specific heading of marketing. Marketing serves as the basic link between the arts organization and the total societal environment in which the organization functions. The fourth section includes references to art in government and education, arts councils, and leisure and recreation. A final section offers suggested lists of publications in business and the arts which are appropriate sources of information to both the potential and practicing arts administrator.</P>
