Description
Summary:To carve a life in the arts requires a willingness to ask questions and find new ways, a labor that has often been undervalued or unacknowledged. Featuring the insights from nearly thirty artists, Artists On Creative Administration provides first-hand accounts of creative administration research in action and offers ways to apply it to your own thinking, work and life. It's a collection of stories, prompts and provocations, a workbook of case studies, essays and interviews, a sharing of helpful tools, resources and survival strategies, a banquet of questions, revelations and calls to action from over nineteen artist teams. Each chapter is a case study offering a glimpse into the creative administrative mind at work, how artist-administrators think and bring ingenuity to the tasks that get art out into the world. This book is for anyone looking for paths forward, for anyone who believes we are in an exceptional moment of change-change is happening and needs to happen.
