My time in the Arts Leadership Program opened my eyes to the strengths and weaknesses of our industry, inspiring me to pursue a creative career in arts business and non-profit management. ALP offered a wonderful combination of classroom learning with real-world experience and I am grateful I had the opportunity to learn about alternative career options during my time at Eastman.
