The AEMM department has recently formed a partnership with the Arts & Business Council of Chicago. The partnership was formed to offer a series of arts management workshops on the Columbia College Chicago campus. The workshops will be open to professionals, faculty and students.
This agreement will serve three objectives:
• Offer additional training to our full time and part time faculty members
• Regularly bring professional arts managers on campus, to present our program and position it as a resource to the field.
• Develop a networking platform for our students, who will be able to meet professionals before, during and after these trainings.
