Every other year during the fall semester, we invite our alumni, guest presenters, practitioners, and students to the Bolz Center Collegium, a convening and connection opportunity for learning and discussion on current topics and trends in and outside of the arts and nonprofit sectors.
The Bolz Center for Arts Administration is dedicated to linking the arts and successful business practices with current research. Every other spring, we host a research symposium and invite our students, alumni, and colleagues, as well as our partners at other university programs to come to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for learning on current topics and trends in the arts and business research arena.
The Bolz Center’s visiting lecture series plays an essential role in connecting program curriculum with professional practice. Each year, some of the most innovative and connected cultural professionals join us from around the country, bringing insight and experience to inform the business curriculum. This format has proven particularly successful in building professional networks, and in ensuring individual attention to the broad career and field interests of our students.
