"Rural Arts Management is an important book, and comes at a crucial time for the arts. While the internet and other technologies have revolutionized access to the arts, rural communities still face the same scarcities of resources, personnel, and venues that they always have. While most books on managing the arts take a "one size fits all" approach, Rural Arts Management is the first major publication to take a deep dive into the unique characteristics of rural communities and their effect on arts programming. This information should be extremely valuable to arts organizations, grantors, community organizations and businesses, and artists wanting to create arts programming that fits their unique situations." Ellen Rosewall, Professor Emeritus of Arts Management at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, USA
