"William Byrnes's Management and the Arts has always been an essential text for those studying arts management, arts administration, or arts and cultural leadership. I was impressed with the first version of this text 20 years ago and used it then as a framework for my teaching program. This latest version is even better, as it now includes international cultural references and case studies, as well as addressing critical issues around gender and race."
Jo Caust, University of Melbourne, Australia
"Besides an in-depth introduction of the key management principles for the arts and creative industries, this latest edition of Management and the Arts reminds arts managers of the importance of adaptability in today's ever-changing arts ecosystem. This is a must-read book for all arts management students and practitioners."
Benny Lim, Director, Master of Arts in Cultural Management programme, the Chinese University of Hong Kong
"With this fully up to date and expanded edition, Management and the Arts re-establishes itself as the most important arts management textbook of our time. Adding many inventive pedagogical devices, links to additional important online and print resources, and an increased international perspective, this classic text continues to serve as a primary source of management wisdom for current and future arts leaders."
Dr. Richard G. Maloney, Performing Arts Administration graduate program, New York University
"As an educator and consultant, I'm often asked to suggest accessible, relevant, timely, and above all, practical resources. That describes this book. It was my go-to source, in an earlier edition, as a newly minted executive director. Those new to the field or more experienced should keep the latest edition at hand. It reflects the author's continued standing in the field."
Constance DeVereaux, Ph.D., Director and Associate Professor, Arts Leadership and Cultural Management, University of Connecticut
