Artificial Intelligence in Arts Administration

Artificial Intelligence in Arts Administration: Cases in Pedagogy and Practice captures the state of the field, looking at GenAI’s rapid evolution and its impact on both classroom teaching and professional practice to chart a more informed, intentional course for the future. It serves as a useful mirror and map: it reflects where we have been, acknowledges what is missing, and illuminates the territories yet to be explored.

The chapters highlight AI’s asymmetrical influence on the pedagogy and practice of arts administration, shaped by institutional cultures and disciplinary experiences, including visual art, theater, media, music, philosophy, and more. The integration of AI into the arts is not merely a technical upgrade; it is a shift that deeply impacts human creativity, expression, and work.

This book is essential for arts administration educators, arts organization administrators, students and researchers in arts management and cultural policy, and practitioners seeking to understand AI's transformative role in creative industries. It serves as both a reflective resource and a forward-looking guide for anyone navigating AI integration in arts administration education and practice.
