AAD 510 Arts Learning Policy
Instructor: Lori Hager
This course concerns policies and programs in arts learning that take place in school, during out-‐of-‐school time, and as education programs conducted and supported by public arts and nonprofit arts agencies. Arts managers facilitate the conditions for the best possible arts experiences to happen, whether this is through effective communication, grant development, program development and evaluation, program implementation, or research and advocacy. This course focuses on essential knowledge for arts managers relative to arts learning as a field of practice in the arts and culture sector.
The purpose of this course is to prepare arts management professionals to enter the field with skills and knowledge about the historical and contemporary practices in arts learning, to know how to access resources and information around critical issues, and to gain perspectives on current best practices in arts learning so that they may continue to advance the field through research, policy, and practice.
