Students will explore a variety of interdisciplinary case studies in music business, visual arts marketing, theater, film and media, talent public relations, event production, nonprofit and performing arts through the creative lens of entrepreneurship and emotional intelligence. Utilizing a framework of the Business Model Canvas, stemming from a Nonprofit Organization and Public Good Entity viewpoint, the final takeaway is project-based. Project options include but are not limited to a creation/design of a new arts organization, self-career projection portfolio, pitch deck of an entrepreneurial initiative, or other project topic as discussed and approved by the professor.
