What the Fellows are saying

"The opportunity to learn from Michael M. Kaiser and his senior staff, along with the value that they collectively place on the program within the Kennedy Center, truly make it the high-level, practical and academic experience I hoped it would be when I applied. I cannot recommend this program highly enough for aspiring arts managers."

"The access and insight passed on to me far surpasses anything I could read in a book or learn in a classroom. Long after I matriculated, I have been able to count on my fellow Fellows as peer resources and contacts throughout the field."
