Arts and Culture Programs for Social Impact

In this course, students explore changing attitudes toward arts participation and cultural philanthropy, focusing especially on the need for new approaches to engaging and working with culturally diverse populations. Students explore the cultivation of effective cross-disciplinary partnerships to create impactful programs that can transform communities. Programs at diverse arts organizations serve as case studies for practical applications. Students use theory-of-change models to develop programs that connect arts and cultural work with social-impact activities beyond the arts and culture sector.
