The Center for Arts Management and Technology

I have stumbled across a great online resource for those of us interested in getting continuous updates about the relationship between technology and arts management. Our colleagues at Carnegie Mellon have an applied research center that deals with technology for arts managers, their website lists upcoming workshops, they frequently post blogs and podcasts, and offer they offer services for arts managers like website design, consulting, and workshops.

"CAMT investigates ways technology can improve and enhance the practice of arts management and, when appropriate, develops technology solutions and services that meet critical needs in the field."

Some of the products that can be purchased which they have designed or collaborated on include:
CueRate - expedites the panel review process for funding agencies, exhibitors, artists, and panelists. Artist applications and work samples are review through a customizable scoring interface either in-person or remotely.

DoReMe - online class registration tool that allows arts organizations to offer their constituents the convenience of online registration and payment processing.

artsnetCMS - a CAMT hosted and supported content management system (CMS) that simplifies the process of updating your Web site.

Artist Roster - systems to showcase the work of artists, allowing arts organizations and schools to connect them to the public, exhibitors, and others.

Web Hosting - no frills Web hosting through CAMT.

CultureMail - Listserv announcement and discussion email lists.

CAMT is interested in innovating and creating new tools where there are gaps for arts managers by partnering with arts organizations and their students. This is a great resource as we move forward in our careers and potentially for the next section of this course. Enjoy!
