ARTS, CULTURE & MEDIA
The Arts, Culture, and Media domain will provide the opportunity to engage the leaders of arts institutions with leading scholars across disciplines in a prolonged and substantive exchange about the wide array of challenges facing arts institutions—from articulating the distinct contribution of professional performing artists to the economic and management challenges of engaging new audiences in an increasingly digitized world. The domain will include conference gatherings, panel discussions, development of scholarly research and teaching material, and an on-line forum to capture and dialog about cutting-edge thinking in the field, among others.
Current initiatives in this domain
include:
Transnational Arts and
Culture Panel Series, a
three-part series aiming to look at the role of arts
institutions in shaping transnational identities.
Development of The Arts
Colloquium at Harvard,
a multi-year project convening leaders and managers of art
institutions with preeminent scholars from Harvard and
other universities to analyze national trends, reconceive
the obstacles facing those arts institutions, and identify
practical ways around them.
