@mlaffs I'm not an arts administrator (I'm an individual artist), but I am interested in watching/read/seeing convo unfold. #artsmgtchat- Thank you all for the intro! Loving the diversity of backgrounds + experiences. Now let's rock & roll #artsmgtchat
- @artsmgtchat performance wasn't a good fit for me, felt like i had limited options. conservatory is not good for self-esteem #artsmgtchat
- A1: Marrying my skillset (mktg/PR/communications) & lifelong passion (arts & more specificall music). #artsmgtchat
- A1: Also, didn't realize #artsmgmt was a THING and a "legit" career. Found that out once I got into it! #artsmgtchat
- @andmegansaid that "legit" career hang-up is a serious problem in conservatory. it's seen as second-best option #artsmgtchat
- Studied journalism, had a work-study job organizing festivals & a concert series; fell in love w/working in the arts. #artsmgtchat
A1: Initially I wanted to be an artist but working at an ed non-profit & an internship @Intersection_sf made me an #artsadmin #artsmgtchat- A1.pt2 I wouldn't change it for the world now, I love supporting artist! #artsmgtchat
- Q1: Interning with the North Carolina Symphony in Raleigh, NC (based on my curiosity about the behind the scenes symph. work) #artsmgtchat
- @mlaffs I had to find my way as well, undergrad didn't offer music business/arts mgt...my interest was fueled by passion! #artsmgtchat
