The Association of Arts Administration Educators (AAAE) is an international membership organization serving academic programs in arts and cultural management, research, and policy. Membership in AAAE connects you to a world of colleagues, insights, research, and professional development opportunities. You'll have access to our on-line community, where you can discuss current issues in your program or your curriculum, connect with colleagues with similar challenges, and share best practices of your own. Better yet, you'll have the opportunity to engage these issues face-to-face in our annual membership conference.
Full and associate memberships are open to graduate and undergraduate academic programs in arts and cultural administration, arts policy, and research. Individual (affiliate) and student memberships are available for those unaffiliated with degree-granting programs, but still interested in education, research, policy, and practice in arts and cultural management.
Details of each membership level follows:
Full Membership ($350/year) is open to programs that have a designated director, confer a graduate or undergraduate degree in arts administration, have an identifiable and published arts administration curriculum, and have a record of conferred degrees over at least a three-year period. Full membership is subject to application and approval to the AAAE board, and majority vote of current full members. Programs new to AAAE membership should apply at the associate level, and then apply for full membership status if appropriate.
Associate Membership ($250/year) is open to academic programs in arts and cultural administration that don't yet meet the criteria for full membership, but who are moving toward that goal.
Individual Membership ($75/year) is open to individuals who are not the director or associate director of an academic program in arts administration, but who share an interest in the work of the organization. These might be faculty members in academic programs, or scholars or researchers in unaffiliated departments or programs.
Student Membership ($30) is open to individuals who are registered in college or university arts administration degree programs or in other degree programs who wish to contribute to and learn from the members of AAAE.
