Careers in Arts Administration
Ninety-five percent of all M.A.A.A. alumni are currently working in the arts.
What kinds of jobs do MAAA alumni have?
Our graduates are planning, facilitating, evaluating, and raising money; designing and opening new facilities; educating students of all ages; consulting in areas like audience development, strategic planning, and financial development; developing and managing public arts programs and arts advocacy organizations; and exploring arts research for non-profits and government agencies.
In addition to their own employment in arts administration, many of our MAAA alumni continue to create their own art, serve on non-profit arts boards of directors, and adjudicate arts funding for regional, state, and federal organizations.
Where do MAAA Alumni work?
Graduates work in various jobs and fields all over the world, for a diverse group of companies and organizations, including the California Shakespeare Theater, the College of the Bahamas, New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Seattle Opera, to name a few. See a full list below.
