Purpose: You are invited to participate in a research study about the embodied experience of arts administration and how such a lived experience impacts the policy, practice, and profession of arts administration.

Procedures/Tasks: You will be asked to submit a digital file/s (or weblink) of an artifact representing your personal and embodied experience as an arts administrator in response to a sector wide call for participation to arts administrators. Artifact file/s may include images, text, or multi-media. You must hold personal intellectual ownership of the file/s submitted or must exist in open-source or open-commons licensing spaces. You may not submit materials to which copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark or license is held by another entity.

Duration: Approximately three (3) hours or less. This includes your review of the call for participation, development or collection of digital file/s, and the time it takes to review this consent for participation, and submit file/s via the online form at https://u.osu.edu/hoppe.19.
