Library for the Performing Arts

Though quite small, the Arts Administration Collection contains comprehensive information on all aspects of the administration and management of performing arts organizations. Special emphasis is placed on financial management, particularly funding and grant-seeking at an individual and institutional level. Other areas of interest include arts services organizations, forming and running nonprofit organizations publicity, special tax considerations, arts centers and arts councils, general entertainment law and copyright.

This collection DOES NOT contain information on business in general, such as small business start-up, taxes, business reports, or statistics. These materials can be found at the Science, Industry and Business Library (SIBL). Every effort is made to maintain the collection with an eye toward currency and unique content. Many Arts Administration materials do circulate and the Reference section has a useful collection of current directories as well as Arts Administration periodicals.
