Arts Administration Program (Art, Dance, Film, Literature and Writing, Media, Music, Theatre)
Affiliation: Teachers College
Phone: 212-678-3271

Website: http://www.tc.columbia.edu/academic/arad/
The Arts Administration program reflects the conviction that the management of cultural institutions and arts organizations requires strategic planning, artistic creativity and social commitment. The arts managers capable of responding to the challenges and responsibilities of the arts must possess integrated management and financial skills, knowledge of the artistic process in which they are involved and sensitivity to the dynamics and educational needs of the communities they serve. The Program, which offers a Master of Arts degree, represents an alliance of four disciplines: arts, education, business, and law. It is designed to help professionals meet the challenges of the next decade. These challenges include questions about the long-term health of arts organizations; their missions, governance and management; sources of income, and tax regulations. Such issues as freedom of expression, First Amendment rights, censorship and government intervention in the arts have important implications for international, educational, and cultural policy, and are integral to the Program. Today, arts administration training in the United States is a model in the field that addresses worldwide concerns.

E-Mail: zines@barnard.com
Website: http://www.barnard.edu/library/zines
Short for magazine or fanzine, zines are self-publications, motivated by a desire for self-expression, not for profit. Although zines, a rich and democratic form of self-expression that range from scholarly treatises on diverse issues to wildly creative artworks, have been around for a long time, few libraries have yet to begin collecting and preserving them. Our collection development policy provides both contemporary and future researchers a unique insight into today's feminist culture. Barnard's zines are primarily in the area of women's studies, featuring personal and political publications on activism, anarchism, body image, feminism, gender, lesbians, menstruation, parenting, sexual assault, and other topics. They are created by women of color, NYC and other urban women. The term "woman" applies to anyone who self-identifies as such.

Current Musicology (CM) is a leading forum for scholarly music research, seeking to reflect the forefront of thought in historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and music theory, as well as music cognition, philosophy of music, and interdisciplinary studies. CM was founded in 1965 by graduate students at Columbia University as a semiannual review that would primarily serve the needs of musicologists who are about to undertake, are presently engaged in, or have recently completed their graduate studies. From its inception, the aim of the journal was to publish short articles of research, criticism, and opinion, predominantly by younger authors. The term 'musicology' in the journal's title is to be understood in the broadest sense possible. The wide scope of the journal is evident in special issues devoted to specific topics, in the broad range of scholarship encouraged, and in the variety of books reviewed.

The Heyman Center presents several events on various themes in the Humanities throughout the Fall and Spring semesters each year, which are open not only to all at Columbia but to everyone in New York City and beyond. It also has eight post-doctoral fellows at any given time, each holding a two-year Mellon fellowship in the Society of Fellows in the Humanities. It plans to have various other levels of fellowship over the next few years for junior and senior faculty both at Columbia and from other universities, as well as some 'New York City Fellows' who are distinguished artists, writers, musicians, and journalists living in the city. Every week of each semester it has a lunch for a group of Columbia faculty fellows who present their work to each other for discussion. The Heyman Center also houses Columbia's Center for Comparative Literature and Society, the Human Rights Center, a group of Columbia's emeritus faculty known as the "Society of Senior Scholars," who teach in the Core Curriculum, and The Friends of the Heyman Center, all of which host seminars and colloquia of their own throughout the year.

The site hopes to illuminate some of the provocative (and problematic) aspects of experiencing art and literature online. The Mobius Strip Gallery juxtaposes visual art and writing, producing new combinations of works with each cycle, bringing to light different aspects of each work by framing them in a variety of ways.

Contemporary art has become increasingly interdisciplinary. To that end, the Division of Visual Arts keeps the walls between its disciplines low, offering an M.F.A. degree in Visual Arts, rather than in one specific medium. The two-year studio program taught by internationally celebrated artists allows students to pursue digital media, drawing, new genres, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video art. In addition to rigorous training within a specific discipline, we encourage our students to cross boundaries, both within our Division and outside of it, to take advantage of Columbia's renowned Writing, Theatre, and Film programs. This unique cultural nexus is our signature, distinguishing us from other comparable programs.
