Arts Management Personal Statement

As faculty in the School of Performing Arts, we rely heavily on are own artistic experiences to add depth, knowledge and meaning to the educational environment we create for our students. Diversity almost informs every aspect of what we do as artists, and teachers.

There are many careers out there, but my chosen career is business management. I have always wanted to own my own business since I was a child. Owning a restaurant has always been a dream and a passion that I wish to accomplish. I know with the education that I am receiving now and with all of the skills that I have, I will be successful with owning or managing a business. When I get older I want to be able to provide for my family, and that gives me the motivation to strive to be fortune.

Running, wrestling, singing, forging, and working with my hands to create works of art are all interests that contribute to who I am. But any description of myself would be incomplete without discussing my involvement in theater. Over the last four years, I have had the amazing opportunity to become adopted into a family of loving, talented actors, who make up the Nooksack Valley Drama Department. This has been the greatest influence for growth in my life to prepare me for college and my future. It has directed me on my current path to becoming a confident leader and a reliable worker.

I have started a service club called Irmo Arts Outreach, it was a dream that I was able to turn a reality. The club Means a lot to me because it was inspired by my favorite cousin, who lost the battle to cancer on March 23, 2016, at the age of 19. She liked giving back to the community, she volunteered at her local hospital and library, and she tutored kids who needed help. So I wanted to start a club which helps kids with terminal illnesses, it with would have been called Spark. That was because she sparked a passion in me and I wanted to spark a passion in others. I wanted to teach the kids how to play musical instruments such as keyboard and guitar. The teachers would kids fro my local high school,and the good part is it would be free of

When I left CBS, I was pretty well-known as an art director and I had won awards from Communication Arts, Graphis, AIGA, and the Art Director’s Club. I would get my work into all of their competitions, and if there was a record cover category, I would clean up. I had also worked with every illustrator on the planet, which helped promote my work even more. I was a bit of a wunderkind: I joined the board of AIGA when I was 30, and I was the youngest person there. I met Massimo Vignelli; Colin Forbes, the founder of Pentagram; Woody Pirtle; and Michael Vanderbyl—and we became friends and compatriots. Unfortunately, I had visibility, but I didn’t have self-assurance. I wanted to leave CBS to do something else, but I couldn’t get a job as a magazine

After exploring extracurricular activities my freshman and sophomore year, the abstract beauty of the performing arts enraptured my heart. Keeping theatre in high esteem, I anticipated and prepared for our success in exhilaration. My schedule revolved around our performances, and consequently, I eliminated any conflicts with rehearsals. To ensure the maximum potential of every one of our shows, I allocated all my spare time into productions. I once stayed at school well past 10 at night painting the stage with my director to guarantee we polished our set to perfection. The work ethic I instigated

Creating a performance using inspiration from famous texts and movies such as Lord of the Flies has provided me with a valuable experience. This commitment has been extremely rewarding as I have learnt and developed skills such as organisation and teamwork. In addition to performing, I have been a member of the backstage crew where I had to grasp on how to work in large groups and issues such as communication and time management were overcome through perseverance and commitment, ultimately giving me more confidence in myself. Assisting younger students throughout my academic schooling evidently shows my responsibility and organisation skills that are vital for the future.

There are a lot of different jobs to take in this entertainment industry, but there is only one thing that I desire to do, music producing. One thing that combines a passion for music and song writing is a music producer. As many things as I love doing, singing and writing music is by far my favorite thing to do. Being a music producer would help me to express my emotions in a positive way. I would be able to show my creativity in a form that I know and definitely love.

I hope you are reading this cover letter because the reason I am qualified for this job is not reflected in my resume but this cover letter. I am passionate about how the arts create a synergized culture and being part of a movement that engages a community to celebrate life is my dream job. In the past I have been very active organizing community events including events such as Art in the Park, Children’s Art Festival, and Music in the Park. Then I became serious about life and got a real job to pay the bills, but unfortunately it didn’t feed my soul. Now, I am hungry…more like starving to connect with likeminded people. Oh! Did I mention that I was a bartender for 5 years? On my days off I would visit other bars, meet people, then encouraged

The Metropolitan Opera is “a vibrant home for the most creative and talented singers, conductors, composers, musicians, stage directors, designers, visual artists, choreographers, and dancers from around the world” (Annul Report 2009-2010).

This discussion will reflect and analyse the practical development of the design team in the production as a result of working on a Site-Specific performance, I will be referring back to my personal experience as being a participant of this team, where I took the role a design assistant.

I am striving to learn everything there is to know about theatre in my four years here at UNI. My goal is to be as active and productive in the department as I can. The more I do, the more I want to learn. I am constantly seeking out opportunities and skills to add to my professional tool belt. I am primarily interested in learning more deeply about the technical and design aspects of sound in hopes of continuing my education in this emphasis as a graduate student. However, I am aware that my interest and passion of theatre’s many different technical fields may change my plans, and I am open to a world full of different paths.

Since the idea of printed merchandise is not something new, the artist manager should try and think of ways on how to sustain Khir’s career as a designer in the long run and how to make him stand out from the rest of other designers.

I wish to study Events Management at university as I am studying HNC Events at college and have learned how complex and intricate this subject is through the units I have studied and the practical work I have completed. I have also discovered the incredible sense of achievement you obtain when an event is a success. It is for these reasons that I endeavour to take my studies to the next stage, allowing me to expand on the skills and knowledge I have gained from college. I hope to study Events Management at university as I have researched the course and consider the modules to be exciting and a good progression from the units I am currently studying. After school I spent time in Paris working as an Au-Pair, and I found this experience to be
