Social entrepreneurship draws upon business principles and skills to develop and implement effective solutions to social needs and problems. Beyond measuring performance in terms of profit and return, social entrepreneurs take into account a positive return to society. This pursuit calls for multi-disciplinarity, innovative thinking, and teamwork—values that form the core of our course. This course begins with a survey of the arts as a social good in global society as well as site visits to local arts organizations. You will work in teams to identify and research a target audience, develop and execute an arts experience, and measure the impact of your event. We will explore the social role of the arts in contemporary society and how local and national arts organizations create social value by serving their community through partnership. Participants will refine skills in idea generation, public speaking, organization and project management, feasibility testing, grant seeking, and collecting and interpreting data on audiences and communities to determine local needs and impact.
