"I highly recommend Business Issues in the Arts by Jay Pension and Anthony S. Rhine because it’s a one-stop shop resource for Arts Administration and Management students, practitioners, educators, researchers, and others. The book speaks to the most important business issues facing nonprofit arts organizations today. It covers all the business issues, from human resources in the arts to unions and start-ups, that one would need to have a full grasp of leading a nonprofit arts organization."
