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 ($200/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.
