- Summary:
- The Art of Governance is an essential guide for trustees in the performing arts and for the artists, managers and community leaders who work with them. This book provides the larger context in which trustees govern-the art, artists, history, institutions and national policies of the performing arts-and also explores more practical issues, such as board development, planning, finance and fundraising. A wide range of distinguished artists, trustees, managers and consultants have contributed articles, covering everything from "The Art of Theater" to "Understanding Financial Statements." An invaluable tool for building an enlightened and inspired board, this resource above all recognizes the need of trustees in the performing arts to find a balance between the uncertainty of artistic creativity and the need for fiscal stability.
