Fundamentals of Local Arts Management Contributing writers, Barbara Schaffer Bacon, Tina Burdett, Craig Dreeszen, Pam Korza, Halsey M. North, and Alice H. North. Illustrations by David O'Fallon. The first edition of Fundamentals of Local Arts Management introduced thousands of arts leaders to principles of management. But times have changed and this newest edition responds. The book emphasizes contemporary community arts issues and discusses program accountability and evaluation, political controversy, arts and social issues, new governing models, fundraising in an environment of cutbacks, and genuine inclusion.
Experienced leaders value the straightforward discussion of complicated issues.
