An introduction to — and overview of — artist management. This class will teach you what it really means, what managers do (and don’t do). You will learn about the importance of having a true creative partnership and what mutual responsibility looks like. We will delve into representation agreements as well as the nitty-gritty of terms and conditions. And, of course, how the money works.
