E. Andrew Taylor
Director and Associate Professor, Arts Management Program, American University

E. Andrew Taylor thinks (a bit too much) about organizational structure, strategy, and management practice in the nonprofit arts. Director and Associate Professor of Arts Management at American University, Andrew previously directed the Bolz Center for Arts Administration, an MBA degree program and learning center in the Wisconsin School of Business, for more than a decade.

As a consultant, he has advised and supported the International Society for the Performing Arts, American Ballet Theatre, Create Austin, Theatre Communications Group, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Wallace Foundation, and the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), among others. With AMS Planning & Research, he helped develop the budget pro forma and operating plan for the $205-million Overture Center for the Arts in Madison, Wisconsin, and advised its transition from a public entity to a nonprofit.

Andrew is past president of the Association of Arts Administration Educators, board member for Fractured Atlas, consulting editor for The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society, and Artivate Editorial Board member since its founding. 

Since July 2003, he has written a popular blog on the business of arts and culture, "The Artful Manager," hosted by ArtsJournal.com. In January 2023, he launched the ArtsManaged initiative with his colleagues at American University, a series of resources on the practice of Arts Management including a weekly newsletter, evolving online textbook, and video series.

Andrew holds an MA in Arts Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a BA in English from the University of Colorado-Boulder.
