Arts Managment & Entrepreneurship Minor
Spark Your entrepreneurial creativity
When it comes to the arts, we mean business!
Advocating for the arts isn't just a business—it's big business! In 2022, arts and culture contributed a staggering $1.12 trillion to the GDP, outpacing industries like transportation, mining and agriculture. Both the private and public sectors recognize that the arts are vital in fostering vibrant communities. Whether you're an aspiring artist or a passionate advocate, you'll gain the skills to bridge the gap between creativity and commerce, making a real impact in a market hungry for innovative leaders. It's a minor that can have a major impact.
