In mid-March, AEMMP Records, the Arts, Entertainment, and Media Management student-run record label affiliated with Columbia College Chicago, made their way to the famed SXSW Music Conference in Austin, Texas. Upon arrival, the AEMMP record label set right to work attending panels, hosting shows for their artists, and networking with music and media industry professionals.
AEMMP also hosted a 6-hour day party with a distinguished roster of artists that featured Dusted, Tenille, The Ivorys, The Future Laureates, Minor Characters, Gypsyblood, Jip-Jop, and The GTW. AEMMP Faculty Justin Sinkovich organized a panel on higher education in the music industry, addressing the “challenge of helping steer the future of the music industry through research and critical thought while providing an education where students can get jobs in such a competitive and changing field.”
SXSW was teeming with noteworthy industry professionals and famed musicians. Students had run-ins with well-renowned musicians and connected with former Columbia College Chicago Alumni that are current players in ASCAP, Universal Motown, and many more music industry giants.
AEMMP students and alumni share their professional and educational experiences at SXSW:
“On Friday of SXSW, I got to help set up for the AEMMP event. I took the role of stage manager throughout the day– communicating with artists, the sound engineer, the student sound engineer, and the other students helping artists to load in and out…it gave me a renewed passion for producing events.” – Parker Langvardt
“Being that it was my first time down at SXSW, it was an eye opening experience. I wish there had been more time in the day. I saw amazing shows, listened to brilliant panelists, mingled with countless industry professionals, and enjoyed local fine dining. I was in a great mood for four straight days. I couldn’t ask for more. I fully intend on returning to SXSW for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend saving the money to make the trip if you’re serious about getting involved in the music industry.” – Patrick Van Wagoner

The AEMM department is happy to report that the close collaboration with the Music Department is bringing some impressive results.
Last Spring, in association with Music’s Contemporary, Urban & Pop (CUP) program, AEMM launched a Talent Agency class in which AEMM students acts as agents for CUP bands. They work with the bands on matters of presentation, marketability, branding, product development, career planning and live performance.
The students in the class have recently secured a licensing agreement for one of the bands with two MTV shows (The Real World, The Challenge) as well as with one E! Network’s show (Mrs. Eastwood & Co).
This success reasserts AEMM’s new collaborative and experiential pedagogy. Over the past two years, we have launched five such practicum classes (Club management, Exhibition Management, Online Distribution, Hip Hop Label and Talent Agency.). We plan to launch a music-publishing agency, a design agency and a curatorial practice in the near future.

The AEMM department is happy to announce that Michael Orlove, who graduated from our Masters program in 1998, has recently been appointed Director of Presenting and Artist Communities for the NEA. In that role, Orlove “will be responsible for managing all stages of the grant-making process, including convening the panels that review applications and serving as the spokesperson for his field at the federal level,” according to an announcement from the NEA.
Michael served at the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs since the summer of 1992. Along the way, Orlove was a leader in creating musical series that have become institutions in Chicago, including the World Music Festival and Chicago SummerDance. In addition, Orlove helped program the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, including its popular “Made in Chicago: World Class Jazz” series, curated in conjunction with the non-profit Jazz Institute of Chicago. He has long been one of Chicago’s most admired and effective music programmers.

The Hokin Project
623 S. Wabash Ave.
Columbia College Chicago
Crafting Hope: An Arts Activism Project is an opportunity for the public to engage in a worldwide effort to raise awareness about past and current genocides and to encourage change through arts activism.
Come participate in the bone making process, interact with others’ ideas through the Open Space for Democracy board, and learn what an important role Columbia College Chicago has been playing in arts activism since 2006.
Framed by a larger conversation about arts activism at Columbia College, Crafting Hope seeks to further One Million Bones project’s mission to create widespread recognition of genocides across the world and the millions of victims and survivors who have been killed or displaced as a result. One million bones made by artists, activists, and students will be laid in Washington DC in Spring 2013 in the form of a symbolic mass grave. Organized by the Hokin Project, Crafting Hope encourages hope for an end to genocide; hope that resides in compassion and human connection.
THE HOKIN PROJECT is a student-run collaboration of the Arts, Entertainment & Media Management Department (AEMM) and Student Affairs/Department of Exhibition and Performance Spaces (DEPS) of Columbia College Chicago.Contact the Hokin Project at thehokin@gmail.com
