Performing arts centers (PACs) are an integral part of the cultural
and creative industries, significantly influencing the cultural,
social, and economic vitality of communities around the world.
Virtually all PACs are community-based and serve the public
interest, whether structured as a public, nonprofit, for-profit, or
hybrid entity. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the
important community role of performing arts centers, especially
those that mainly host and present work produced by other arts
organizations. This gap is startling, given the ubiquitous presence
of PACs in urban centers, small communities, as well as colleges
and universities. This co-edited reference book provides valuable
information at the intersection of theory and practice in the
professional field of executive leadership of performing arts
centers. Drawing on the expertise of leading academics,
consultants, and executives, this book focuses on institutions and
practices in the United States, and is contextualized within
additional fields such as cultural planning, urban revitalization,
and economic development. Performing Arts Center Management aims to
provide valuable theoretical, conceptual, empirical, and
practice-based information to current and future leaders in
creative and cultural industries management. It serves as a unique
reference for researchers, university students, civic leaders,
urban planners, public venue managers, and arts administrators
aspiring to improve or advance their work in successfully managing
performing arts centers.
