This year’s theme is “Intersections and Innovations,” reflecting the dynamic and interdisciplinary nature of arts administration education and practice. We are delighted to explore these topics against the backdrop of Puerto Rico’s multifaceted creative landscape and the cross-disciplinary profile of our host, the School of Arts, Design, and Creative Industries, which houses programs in visual arts, music, performing arts, design, creative writing, and creative industries.
As the practice and the theory of arts administration continues to evolve, arts administrators often find themselves at various intersections of disciplines, methodologies, practices and perspectives. This year’s conference seeks to explore these intersections and highlight the innovative approaches that emerge when diverse ideas and practices intersect.
