Especially in the Arts! Yes! Lawyers are integral to the success of all organizations, corporations, and businesses, and arts organizations (even non-profit arts organizations) are no exception. When we think of arts organizations, even those of us keenly aware of all of the behind the scenes characters that keep the machine running, we often fall into the trap of forgetting crucial components. Think of one of your local theatre organizations. It doesn’t have to be the bigges

Winner of 12 Tony Awards, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s critically acclaimed musical, Hamilton: An American Musical, has been taking Broadway, and the world by storm. Since the show’s Broadway debut in 2015, the show has opened in Chicago, the West End in London, and is starting its first tour across the United States. Tickets for the show are sold at an astronomically high price and are in incredibly high demand, no matter which city or production you’re looking to go see. Upper balc

I woke up Sunday morning feeling like I needed to go somewhere, to do something new. And because I am a nerd, I decided that that something new was going to be to check out the Cincinnati Art Museum. I have lived in Oxford for three years and never made it down there, mostly because I didn’t have a car and wasn’t about to drop a hundred dollars on an Uber, so I decided that that would be the day. I will admit, I got lost in Eden Park on my way there… and again when I left.

“Passion is caring deeply about something. Purpose is doing something about what you deeply care about” - Edgar Papke Passion has many definitions and meaning when searching for a definition it comes up with strong and barely controllable emotion, a state or outburst of strong emotion, intense sexual love. All these things describe passion and we have all felt this emotion as some point in our lives and will become very familiar with this emotion over our life span. There are

Last year, Miami University made many noticeable changes to its dining halls and meal plan. Amidst larger cutbacks, like making pre-mixed stir fry options and completely dismantling everything besides the buffet on Maple Avenue, there were also many smaller changes that seemed to go unnoticed. Various foods were removed, the menu rotation was changed, etc. Among these smaller changes was the silent removal of croutons from every dining hall on campus. Croutons that I ate cons

Miami University in Oxford, OH: Home to a great hockey team, a beautiful campus, and a renowned business school. When most people think of Miami, many think of a preppy, well-dressed student in the Farmer School of Business. However, Miami is more than just that. College is the place where you find yourself. You finally get to be who YOU want to be and do what YOU want to do. It’s a formative time in one’s life that should be used to the fullest, but, I often get the sense th

ESP 103 plays an important role for FSB students. It makes design thinking, innovation and creativity come into the business setting and tells people with any background the importance of utilizing them in their work. Our goal in Arts management is to effectively communicate that anyone at any age or any background can be creative. So when I was assigned to discover the creativity, innovation and design thinking, ESP 103 comes to my mind first. My major is ISA at Farmer Schoo

In the Arts Management program the experience of the arts is of the utmost importance and sometime you need to do just that, experience it. I haven’t been doing ceramics for very long. In total I’ve been handling clay for less than 6 months. I have had a fascination with the subject for as long as I can remember; one Christmas over a decade ago now, I received this toy potters wheel. It didn’t work well, and I never really figured out how to make anything and it sadly went to

After attending my first music festival, I truly could not get enough. The long lines to get through the front gates. The various stages my friends and I are constantly running back and forth from. The colorful and elaborate outfits festival-goers wear. The abundance of food stands ranging from fresh fruit smoothies to delicious island noodles. The booths selling beautiful jewels and unique artwork. And, most importantly, the phenomenal community of people that attend music f

When I began attending Miami University, I was incredibly nervous. As a nontraditional student who had attempted college twice before, I wondered whether or not the third time would be the charm. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life. While I had an interest in the arts and was looking at working for non-profit organizations, it never occurred to me that someone could pursue a career in the arts without being a performer or artist. Luckily for me, the regional campus
