In June 2018, a Culture Track study indicated that many Canadians seek out arts experiences to reduce anxiety, to build community and—yes—to feel pleasure and enjoyment. But who plans and organizes these experiences? Who finds funding for them, and the necessary space and facilities? Who develops and enacts the policies, procedures and processes that encourage the arts to grow and thrive? Increasingly, this work falls upon graduates from a nationwide array of programs in curatorial studies, arts administration, museum studies, archival conservation and cultural management. Graduates work as curators, conservators and museum educators, as program managers, policy analysts and collection appraisers, to name just a few options. A number of these programs assist arts professionals already at work in building next-level skills and expertise. In this School Guide themed on Art Workers, we home in on programs from across Canada that help graduates nurture and sustain a myriad of arts organizations, events, collections and infrastructure. 1 Students in the Fleming College 2 Students in the Certificate 3 A performance in progress 4 A student in the wood shop Cultural Heritage Conservation in Arts Management program at at the University of Windsor. at Sheridan College.
