Artists May Now Live As Geniuses and Eat With Money

Daniel Grant has an interesting article regarding art schools that provide business classes and undergrad and grad business degrees to aspiring artists and designers.

Artists “seek to be hired in upper level positions or become more successful in their current roles, but they need to be able to articulate the value of their skills in a way that management can understand. And, in large measure, these are the messages they are seeking to communicate: Innovation and creativity need to be incorporated into every aspect of business rather than isolated from key decision-making; design is not just a picture of something to be made or something that is purely tactical (a logo, for instance), but an integral part of a long-term strategy that needs to be integrated into overall planning.”

I wonder which institution will be the first to offer a joint MFA/MBA/JD degree program. Yale anyone? Via The Huffington Post.
