The Oxford Handbook of Arts and Cultural Management is a curated, first-line resource for graduate students and scholars that critically and analytically surveys the contemporary research in arts and cultural management and suggests directions for future work. The rigorous and in-depth contributions by both leading and emerging scholars from diverse national and disciplinary backgrounds emphasize public and nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and their social environments, while also touching on creative industry practices. As the field emerges from a post-pandemic world, the Handbook also plays a critical role in envisioning a new future for arts and cultural management research – one that supports movements towards a more equitable, sustainable, and just society.
