Arts/Cultural Affairs Policy

 

Arts and Cultural Affairs Track

From museums to performance and across all media, the arts advance our culture, enrich our lives, enhance communities, and contribute greatly to the economy. The Public Policy Institute prepares students for careers in facilitating the operation of artistic and cultural organizations ensuring their growth and stability in fulfilling their missions. The expertise we build becomes more vital with each government budget cutback.
