Arts Administration Program (Art)
Affiliation: Teachers College
Phone: 212-678-3271
Website: http://www.tc.columbia.edu/academic/arad/
E-Mail: arad@columbia.edu
Contact: Joan Jeffri, Director
The Arts Administration program reflects the conviction that the management of cultural institutions and arts organizations requires strategic planning, artistic creativity and social commitment. The arts managers capable of responding to the challenges and responsibilities of the arts must possess integrated management and financial skills, knowledge of the artistic process in which they are involved and sensitivity to the dynamics and educational needs of the communities they serve. The Program, which offers a Master of Arts degree, represents an alliance of four disciplines: arts, education, business, and law. It is designed to help professionals meet the challenges of the next decade. These challenges include questions about the long-term health of arts organizations; their missions, governance and management; sources of income, and tax regulations. Such issues as freedom of expression, First Amendment rights, censorship and government intervention in the arts have important implications for international, educational, and cultural policy, and are integral to the Program. Today, arts administration training in the United States is a model in the field that addresses worldwide concerns. |

Every week of each semester it has a lunch for a group of Columbia faculty fellows who present their work to each other for discussion. The Heyman Center also houses Columbia's Center for Comparative Literature and Society, the Human Rights Center, a group of Columbia's emeritus faculty known as the "Society of Senior Scholars," who teach in the Core Curriculum, and The Friends of the Heyman Center, all of which host seminars and colloquia of their own throughout the year.

Raw Elementz (Dance)
Website: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/rawelementz/
E-Mail: rawelementz@columbia.edu
Raw Elementz burst into being in the spring of 2001, when former Culture Shock dancer and current slave to academia Kristin Liu decided to take matters into her own hands. In the beginning, there was Kant. On the weekends, there was more Kant, and sometimes Aristotle, or if you were lucky enough to go to Barnard you might get something interesting. Then Kristin said, Let there be hip-hop, and Raw Elementz was born. And it was good.
As long-time big cheese in the satellite hip-hop interest group of the Chinese Students Club, Kristin made the move to expand her base of operations. She created an organization modeled loosely after Culture Shock, a professional dance troupe and outreach organization in cities around the world. She worked tirelessly to attain ABC and SGA recognition, hounded random students for signatures, and essentially stopped at nothing until her mission was completed. Of course, in the end it all paid off, and Raw Elementz has since grown into what it is now: An independent, diverse, awesome group of people who love to dance. |
