Abstract

This study of arts leadership in the San Francisco Bay Area addressed the following research questions: (1) What are the most predominant leadership frameworks and narratives in the local arts ecosystem? (2) What resources and opportunities are currently shaping leadership in the field? (3) To what extent do they align with the Performing Arts Program’s values of equity, justice, and self-determination? (4) How are responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, calls across the creative sector for racial justice, global warming, and ethics informing and transforming arts leadership in the Bay Area? Lastly, (5) what are some compelling visions for how the role of arts leaders might evolve over the next three to 10 years? Based on the findings of the study, I offer practical and theoretical recommendations for consideration by arts leaders, educators, funders, and scholars. I also suggest research questions that scholars should investigate in future research on and about arts leaders and arts leadership.
