A "Working Lab" Opportunity
Future Tenant is a "rough" space located in the heart of Pittsburgh's Cultural District that features alternative exhibitions and performances by the region's emerging artists. Future Tenant offers MAM students the opportunity to gain invaluable, practical management experience in a culturally active setting. A team of approximately six first- and second-year MAM students handle all aspects of Future Tenant's planning, programming, managing, budgeting, marketing and fundraising, under the guidance and support of a faculty advisor. Edgy, uncharted and vibrant in both the art it presents and the management challenges it faces, Future Tenant is an experience unlike any other offered anywhere else.

"Upon entering the MAM program, I knew I wanted to work in the arts, but I didn’t know where I fit. Through the program, I gained a lot of confidence in my skills as an arts manager, especially through my invaluable experience at Future Tenant.
In the unique environment of an arts management laboratory, I learned about budgeting, marketing, serving artists, board relations, audience management, sponsorship, and the subtle details of running an organization.
The classes you take in the program provide you with skills, however, the opportunity to work in the field while learning is one of the biggest advantages of this Master of Arts Management program."
