Looking for a Career in Arts Administration?
Your CV
You need to show a passion for the Arts (or your Art in particular) through years of practice, formal
education or keen interests:
    Go to concerts, festivals, theatres
    Play in orchestras, sing in choirs
    Visit art galleries & places of cultural & historical interest

Get Involved

Seek out opportunities to administrate events before you leave school / College / University as first
jobs & internships are very competitive & potential employers need evidence:
    Volunteer to help a local ensemble
    Organise a charity concert
    Take your group on tour
    Design publicity for an event
    Write a blog or reviews

Be In Touch
Do not be afraid to contact members of staff at organisations you would love to work for & ask to
shadow them or ask about their career path & any advice they can offer. The arts admin world is very
small so make contacts & build a positive reputation.

Show Commitment
Be prepared to work for nothing or very little informally or as on an internship scheme for between 2
weeks & 6 months. Try not to be hung up on the long term future; a common ‘way in’ is the short-
term contract or maternity cover. Be a proactive intern / work experience placement and remember
very few arts administrators take lunch breaks.

Seek Opportunities
There is no standard career ladder or standard job; you have to look for the opportunities out there &
put yourself forward. Take jobs because you are interested in working for that organisation & the role
is interesting & challenging, not worried about where it might lead in the long run.

Think It Through
Consider carefully both the positive & negative aspects of working in the Arts:

+ Massive adrenalin rush ‘on the night’      - Limited social life working evenings & weekends
+ Enormous job satisfaction                  - Low pay & long hours
+ Enabling great artists to create & perform - Often regarded as inferior to the
+ Bringing artists & audiences together       artists / performers / academics working on the
                                              same projects
