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.

Arts Management Education Opportunities: A Directory

<P>Published by the Arts Extension Service, Division of Continuing Education, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Massachusetts. A cursory review of arts administrators' resumes reveals a broad range of credentials and experiences. Arts managers are as likely to come from the artist's studio as from education, journalism, public relations, recreation, public administration or an M.B.A. program. For some, volunteer work has provided entry to the field. Others have graduated from one of the 30 graduate arts administration degree programs across the country. New managers and veterans regularly count on workshops, seminars, trade publications, conventions, and graduate programs to hone management skills, keep current on new practices, find practical problem solving approaches and network with colleagues. Continuing education opportunities are vital to the arts management field. Arts Management Education Opportunities: a Directory is intended to help arts managers and students locate appropriate continuing education opportunities to meet their needs. (p. 5)</P>
