Absolutely, but I would just like to impart to the OP that arts administration jobs are often significantly less connected to the artistic process than many arts administrators would like (and I say that as someone with a BFA in Musical Theatre, a BFA in Arts Administration, and as someone who maintains a healthy career as a professional actor while arts administration is my full-time day job). I’ve seen many artists turned administrators become bitter because they wish they could be working on the other side of the footlights. OP, if you’d like to talk to someone about what the day to day of working in professional arts administration is like (I am no longer in arts marketing - I’m a fundraiser and an arts accessibility specialist, but I was a marketing coordinator at the beginning of my career), please PM me.
