"With its integrated curriculum of classroom and field work, the program provided me with a complete set of skills for taking on the challenges faced by today's arts manager. I've gained essential skills in grant writing, nonprofit accounting, audience development, and artistic program management, and gained confidence as a writer and speaker within my workplace and the community at large."
